Abstract
The course will explore some of the most recent Chassidic Masters and their Chassidic Thought. Students will study texts written by Rav Moshe Wolfson, students of Rav Yitzchok Meir Morgenstern, Rav Elimelech Biderman, and the Stichiner Rebbe, Rav Mottel Zilber. Students will learn how current tzadikim and mashpi’im teach us to see the world through set ideas that inspire and encourage. We will explore the themes of Emunah and Bitachon in a time of probing questions, learning how to appreciate the Avodah that we are involved in, the importance of Simcha, and how to arrive at deep humility and self-negation
