Moadei HaRav presents a collection of shiurim and
lectures (based upon student notes) by Rabbi
Joseph B. Soloveitchik on the Jewish festivals,
including the High Holidays, Chanukah, Purim, and Passover.
Rav Soloveitchik was not only one of the outstanding Talmudists
of the 20th century, but was also one of its most creative and
seminal Jewish thinkers. Through these shiurim and lectures, along
with his own original essays on Jewish laws and rituals, Rabbi
Dr. Shlomo H. Pick provides the Rav's insights and thoughts
on the Jewish holidays. An introductory essay analyzes the Rav's
methodology of Talmud analysis.
