Chasidic Insights into the Weekly Parsha with the Maor VaShemesh
Wednesdays
12:30-1:30 PM ET on ZOOM
​​
Not to be confused with the Meor Eynayim, the Maor VaShemesh was R. Kalonymus Kalman Epstein (1753-1825). Each week, join Rabbi Dr. Erin Leib Smokler '18, Director of Spiritual Development, for an engaging exploration of this text. A student of R. Elimelech of Lizhensk, he is known for his writings on humility, sacred community, and transformative journeys. His commentary on Torah is referred to, in some circles, as the "Shulchan Aruch of Chassidut," a cornerstone of the movement.
