The Hakdamah (Introduction) to the Sha'arei Yosher by Rabbi Shimon Shkop zt"l


Forgive the hyperbole, but as noted in the excerpt I often say with only the slightest exaggeration that this essay is the most important piece of Jewish Thought written in the past 500 years. 

An excerpt from:
 "Great Rabbinic Thinkers: Rabbi Shimon Shkop Part 7," 
Rabbi Dr. Marc Shapiro's series for Torah in Motion

Prof. Shapiro invited me as a special guest to teach this truly timeless and always timely classic. The full episode is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2ETIlz6-GU
