"Seeing the Yad Hashem in the Darkness of Golus" A Timely Shiur by

Rabbi Mendel Kessin WHEN: Tuesday night, Feb 21st 8:15PM WHERE: Beis Tefillah Yonah Avraham (Ulam Shabsai) WHO: Men and Women (With Mechitza) COST: SUGGESTED DONATION: NIS 20 Rabbi Kessin is an internationally known lecturer and educator who has spoken extensively on Hashkafa, Learning Methodology and Shmiras Halashon. His Shiurim raising awareness of the devastating effects of Lashon Hara were distributed widely by the Chafetz Chaim Heritage Foundation, which he co-founded.

Rabbi Kessin has devoted decades to promoting the writings and outlook of the Ramchal. He collaborated with Rav Chaim Friedlander, זצ"לin publishing several Sifrei Ramchal that had become relatively unknown, popularizing them in the Torah mainstream. He has also lectured on a wide range of Hashkafa topics with emphasis on the Ramchal’s perspective. His recent talks have become increasingly popular via www.torahthinking.com. That site offers a free archive of his past and current Shiurim spanning more than 3 decades.
