Description
February 27th 2022 Times: 10 am PST/ 1 pm EST/ 6 pm London/ 7 pm Warsaw/ 8 pm Israel Dr. James Diamond’s book on “Raging Hassidic Sermons of R. Kalonymous Kalman Shapira” will soon be published. We are fortunate to hear of the unique teachings of a Hassidic master known as the Piaseczner Rebbe. R. Kalonymous Kalman Shapira continued to deliver sermons from September 1939 until the summer of 1942. Sermons from the Years of Rage and his other writings were included in the buried archives of the Warsaw Ghetto known as Oneg Shabbat. Dr. Diamond will apply his deep learning to introduce us to this Hassidic teacher’s profound thinking in the midst of the struggle to survive. Dr. James A. Diamond holds the Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Chair of Jewish Studies at the University of Waterloo. His vast writings include Jewish Theology Unbound, and Maimonides and The Shaping of the Jewish Canon, as well as numerous articles. See you soon! Do zobaczenia!
