Notes and sources below the video!!!
We will be discussing Rabbi Kahn’s new book “The Crowns on the Letters” which focuses on the lives of the early Sages of the 3333 year old chain of Torah transmission, and the lessons we learn from their lives.
In this session we will get to know Rabbi Kahn’s story about how he came to dedicate his life to teaching Torah and choosing to make Aliyah to Israel.
We will focus on the classic debates between Hillel and Shammai and how we know whom to trust based on one of the chapters of this unique book.
