Maimonides & Teshuva: Lesson 1
Maimonides is considered one of the greatest philosophers in Jewish History. His work “The Laws of Repentance” summarizes all the procedures and essence of Teshuva. Elul, the month leading up to Rosh Hashana, is a period of reflection on the past year, repentance for our actions, and resolve for future growth. Rabbi Chaim Brovender, Rosh Yeshiva of WebYeshiva, will be examining Maimonides’ teachings on repentance, and discussing ‘Does Teshuva always work?”
Rabbi Chaim Brovender is the Rosh Yeshiva of WebYeshiva and President of ATID - The Academy for Torah Initiatives and Directions in Jewish Education, in Jerusalem. He was the founding Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Hamivtar and Michlelet Bruria (today, Midreshet Lindenbaum) where he pioneered the teaching of Gemara to students for whom the Talmud had been a closed book. For over forty years he has been a leading force in teaching Torah in Israel and enabling his students to "learn how to learn" according to the renowned "Brovender Method."
