Daily Zohar Al Pi PShat Day 19. 2b-3a: The Samech-Nun Connection - and a bit more on Peh

I like this one. I think it is a good example of what we're trying to to here. You may understand it even better in conjunction with the previous day's shiur, https://youtu.be/qeSHdmypoWM, but it stands on its own as well. 

I would love to receive comments.

A Talk About Mussar With Rabbi Hillel Goldberg. Especially About Rabbi Avrohom Eliyahu Kaplan zt"l.

A Talk About Mussar With
Rabbi Hillel Goldberg
Especially About
Rabbi Avrohom Eliyahu Kaplan zt"l

Rabbi Dr. Hillel Goldberg of Denver is world-renowned for his work on Mussar. Among many books and articles, he has masterfully translated the B'Ikvos HaYirah essay.

In this wide-ranging talk, Rabbi Goldberg provides many fascinating points of information and insight on Reb Avrohom Elya specifically, but on many broader topics such as the Slabodka-Berlin interface, Mussar in general and the difference between inspiration and engagement.

AI Summary:

"The meeting focused on the legacy of Rabbi Avraham Eliyahu Kaplan, highlighting his contributions to Jewish thought and his influence on both Lithuanian and German Jewry. We discussed Rabbi Kaplan's early life, his famous song Shak'ah Chamah, and his philosophical writings, including his views on Mussar and Hasidism. Rabbi Kaplan's ability to bridge the worlds of traditional Jewish learning and modern intellectualism was emphasized. The meeting also included a tribute to Rabbi Kaplan's impact on his students and his enduring relevance. A recording of a song composed by Rabbi Kaplan was played, and a visit to his gravesite in Berlin was mentioned."

We included my brother-in-law, Avy Schreiber's moving renditions of Shak'ah Chamah and Shir HaMa'alos, a special presentation by the Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Greater Washington, Rabbi Aharon Lopiansky shlita, custom recorded for the event, and a clip of an aliyah la'kever in Berlin led by Yehuda Geberer of Jewish History Soundbites, https://feed.podbean.com/jsoundbites/feed.xml
