What A Tzaddik!

Rabbi Mendy's "leshitosoi"
May 17, 2011 9:08 pm

To summarize Rabbi Cohen’s “shitah” which permeates every interaction, shiur and project would be:
“Clear and sincere delivery of uplifting profundity and depth.”
check him out and you will see this shitah applies to everything this amazing person does.

Shliach shel odom k’moso – may you continue to have the koach to inspire so many, and may Hashem grant you harchavah bgu”r!!
You deserve it!

“based on a suggestion of the Rebbe on how to understand a few machloikesn between Rmbm and Raavad.”This is a great thing however if he would add more Reshonim 2 it it would really sound great bec this way we could learn the sugiya well understand it, & y the Reshonim argue. & how it comes in2 halacha

the Rebbe's view
May 17, 2011 4:39 pm

The explanation of the Rebbe is found in Likutei Sichos volume 34, page 173. Yanki Tauber cites a brief synopsis like this: In the first chapter of Laws of the Torah’s Foundations, Maimonides writes: What is it that Moses our Master desired to attain when he said, “Pray, show me Your countenance?” [Exodus 33:18] He desired to know the truth of G-d’s reality to the extent that it should be known in his mind like one’s knowledge of a person whose face one has seen, and its form is engraved in one’s mind, making that person distinct in one’s mind… Read more »

Just to clarify, Rabbi Cohen’s book is based on a suggestion of the Rebbe on how to understand a few machloikesn between Rmbm and Raavad. Rabbi Cohen took the Rebbe’s idea, and applied it CONSISTENTLY through every single machloikes between them. This takes amazing geoinus on the part of Rabbi Cohen. May G-d Al-mighty bless him with health, wealth, and nachas.

That is a great idea bec if he could put in other Reshonim in2 these Mochlekes we could see how other Reshonim hold in these inyanim ex. bitul bshishim chametz, put it in2gether with the Rambam & Ravad then 2 see how all these Reshonim hold y they argue on each other the svaros then 2 see it from the Sugyia. & it would be a great Iyun Shiur.

Rambam & Raavad

What about some other Reshonim like the Ran Rashba Ritva Tosfos Rif ? What is he giving shiurim in learning Reshonim ?

Rabbi Cohen, it is people like you who make me proud to belong to Chabad. Thank you for being the role model you are. Keep it up!
