Welcome to a non-conventional halacha course, launched by TheYeshiva.net, presenting for the first time the intricacies of Jewish law with its spiritual and psychological symbolisms in Chassidus.
Rabbi Levy Wineberg, author of Lessons in Tanya and an halachic scholar, is the Rosh Kolel of the Mizrachi Kolel and dean of Beis Mindrash LeHoraah, a rabbinical ordination institute in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The series is aired every Sunday evening on TheYeshiva.net and on COLlive.com.
