Recorded Video Classes
I just completed a webinar (3 classes, 45 min each) for The Mussar Institute on Project Sinai‘s web site. Recordings of the classes are available on Project Sinai’s site:
- First Shiur. (The volume is overly loud for the first 3 min or so, which includes most of a rough biography of Rav Shimon Shkop, but not the actual text.)
- Second Shiur.
- Third Shiur.
Here is the description of the course from Project Sinai’s site:
An Introduction to Shaarei Yosher, Gates of Integrity
Rabbi Micha Berger is the founder of the AishDas Society, which spreads Mussar practice in the Orthodox community. His mentor was Rabbi Dovid Lifshitz, who was a student of Rav Shimon Shkop, the author of Shaarei Yosher. Dates: Sundays, May 5, 12 and 19, 8 pm Eastern time. Webinars are 45 minutes. |
This introduction to Shaarei Yosher presents a global view of life and its purpose from a Mussar-based perspective. Its author, Rav Shimon Shkop, was the founding dean ofYeshivat Shaar haTorah in Grodno, Lithuania. Shaarei Yosher’s introduction is about our mission in life, and how holiness, self-sufficiency, and generosity are interrelated.
