Description:
The publication of this book is a cause for celebration.
For two generations, Rabbi Mordechai Gifter, zt"l Rosh Yeshivah of Telshe, has been one of the Torah world’s most briliant scholars and most eloquent spokemen. At the podium, he has captivated and inspired audiences. In the beis midrash, he has elevated students. In conferences, he has led leaders and shaped policies.
Although many of his discourses and comments on Chumash have appeared in print, most prominently in his Hebrew Pirkei Torah, very little of his thought has ever been available in English. With this beautiful volume, that is now changing. A devoted student, Rabbi Chaim Yehudah Nussbaum, has compiled and arranged a rich selection of Rabbi Gifter’s discourses, and Ephraim Lever has translated them, so that thousands of people can now have access to the stimulating and inspiring insights of one of the world’s greatest Torah leaders.
For those fortunate enough to know him, this collection, arranged according to the weekly Torah readings, evokes memories of one of the outstanding platform presences of modern times. For those not fortunate to have heard him, this book introduces them to one of the most memorable Torah leaders of the American post-War Torah world.
For everyone, this volume will provide many a provocative and profitable learning experience, week after week.
