Rabbi Besdin's first volume of "reconstructions" of the thought of "the Rav," Rabbi J.B. Soloveitchik, revered halakhic and spiritual mentor of centrist Orthodoxy, was widely acclaimed when first published and continues to be reprinted.
Rabbi Besdin's second collection dealing with such perennial themes as repentance, faith, reasons for mitzvot, transmitting the Mesorah, and more. There are also a number of chapters dealing with Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.
Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik was not only one of the outstanding Talmudists and religious leaders of the 20th century, but also one of its most creative and seminal Jewish thinkers. This comprehensive study of Rabbi Soloveitchik's religious philosophy offers a broad perspective and balanced understanding of his work. By interpreting and analyzing both individual essays and overarching themes in an accessible and engaging manner, it uncovers the depth, majesty, and fascination of his thought.
Now more than ever, the words of Rav Soloveitchik speak to us from across the threshold of time.Popularly known as the ?Hamesh Derashot,? The Rav Speaks consists of five speeches originally delivered by the Rav in the 1960?s. Then, as today, the eternal truth of his words spoke to the concerns and challenges we face as Jews in Israel and America.The essential principles of Judaism, and the eternal links between God, Torah, the Jewish people, and the Land of Israel are the themes that dominate this seminal work.

Between 1941 and 1945, the years of cataclysm for European Jewry, the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe published a remarkable monthly journal entitled Hakeriah Vehakedusha Reading and Holiness. A collection of discourses from this journal is published here for the first time in English translation. Many of the discourses have as their central theme the concepts of self-sacrifice for G-d and the Jewish people, repentance and strengthening the observance of Torah and Mitzvot. The Rebbe often speaks of the lessons to be learned from the earth-shattering events of that time and their connection to the coming of Mashiach. They were written for a broad audience and are accessible even to those who have never studied Chasidic philosophy.The two volumes include explanatory footnotes, a glossary of Hebrew terms, a general index and, in the second volume, an index of quotations and references for Volumes 1 and 2.
