Description
An immersive journey into the profound teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Each episode delves into one of the Rebbe's personal or public correspondences, unpacking each letter's historical context, tracing its roots in Shas and Poskim, and comparing its thesis with the Rebbe's broader work to reveal a comprehensive philosophy on contemporary issues.
Original letters and Sichos for this Shiur are available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12ehoGNXfgJTm4xCQKYNRRBW2E0XMscsL?usp=sharing
