Experiential Torah study
Torah study about Torah study: Starting from explaining just a few words in a pasuk and a few lines of midrash, Ohr Hachaim embarks on an extensive exploration of the experience of “ameilut baTorah,” involvement in Torah. Join Mrs. Sarah Rudolph as she analyzes both the ideas Ohr Hachaim offers and how he derives them from those few words/lines from the parsha of Bechukotai. The range of approaches to Torah interpretation he uses gives new meaning to the phrase “experiential Torah study.”
