About the Course
The Lubavitcher Rebbe is known for many things: his leadership of the Chabad movement, his love for every Jew, and his army of emissaries, which can be found in nearly every country around the globe. But within all of those activities there runs a single, unifying thread: a singular devotion to - and unique understanding of - the Torah. Join us on this four-week course as we glimpse some of the Rebbe’s unique insights into the Five Books of Moses, the Talmud, and Jewish Law. Together we will come to better appreciate the deep and relevant truths that they contain, and how they shaped a movement that has changed the world.
