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.
“There is no real understanding of Judaism and of Chassidus without a mastery of Halacha. This new series will demonstrate how each law mirrors and reflects some of the richest and exciting ideas in Chassidus,” says Rabbi YY Jacobson, dean of TheYeshiva.net.
Rabbi Wineberg presents here for the first time the practical laws of building (Boneh) on Shabbos, but infusing them with their Chassidic and spiritual interpretation.
Today’s class explores the laws of Borer – selecting on Shabbos. These laws are very practical, yet very unknown. With one small move, like removing a dirty
knife or fork, you may be violating Shabbos.
You will discover the underlying principles of the prohibition to select and categorize on Shabbos.
The classes are presented every Sunday evening on TheYeshiva.net and COLlive.com. They are also available in MP3 and MP4. Download the PDF curriculum.
