Listen now
Description
This week’s episode is dedicated לעילוי נשמת ר אליהו בן ר יוסף.   In this week’s episode we take a closer look at what the Vilna Gaon meant when he said there are more than 613 mitzvos. Similarly we look at a number of his very novel applications of this concept. We also look at how there is a certain overlap with what many would consider Chassidus.    We also look at the concept of Historical Inertia and how this concept applies to a number of the ideas in Maalos HaTorah.   Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.
