Class: Piaseczner on Sukkot

8:00 PM - 9:15 PMZoom

A new online learning series this year with Rabbi Guy. Before attaining posthumous fame as the martyred "Warsaw Ghetto Rabbi" and author of Eish Kodesh, Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira (1889-1943) built a Hasidic yeshiva in Piaseczno, Poland and taught innovative Torah that prefigured our own era's Jewish interest in mindfulness, meditation, and contemplative practice. His sermons on the parashah and holidays from 1925-1938, collected as Derech Hamelech, draw on biblical and rabbinic source texts to give insight into topics such as what we do when we pray, how to be a conduit for God's presence in the world, and the deep themes of the holidays. Ahead of each major holiday, R. Guy offers a guided walk through one sermon, using original and translation, and group discussion. Register here to get access to the text ahead of time; impromptu arrivals also welcome!
