Toras Avigdor
Parsha KnowledgeI like Toras avigdor, sichos yisrael by his grandson Rabbi Brog, and the circle sheets
the one my grandkids bring home from school
Dr. Judith Haupttman available on sefaria.
Nice troll.
Anyways i like torah lodaas; not sure who’s putting it out now the the mechaber was niftar. I also like zera shimshon
Rabbi Lord Sacks Z’L (who prolonged his life by a year beyond what the doctors could do, by pre-recording a year of Divrei Torah). He is a baki of connecting sugyot to world philosophy and history.
AAQ, you’ve seen rabbi sacks go through gemara sugyos with rishonim and achronim?
Dear Avira,
I have. You haven’t????????
n0mesorah – Dr. Judith Haupttman available on sefaria.
I hope you’re joking…
That woman is a renowned apikoiros.The Parshas challenge
I just gave my grandson a prize for knowing his parsha tzettel so well.
Toras Avigdor for sure. And second favorite is Sichos Yisroel, by his grandson
Without a doubt Toras Avigdor. Great work!

Avira > you’ve seen rabbi sacks go through gemara sugyos
I was not sure whether I should put the reference, I should have heeded Chofetz Chaim’s psak not to praise someone publicly, unless he is a universally recognized tzadik, as there will always be someone finding fault… But I figure out we are doing it here for the sake of learning.
To answer your question, I never met R Sacks Z’L. I did not search videos for him learning Gemora sugyos, because I was interested in other issues that he covers, so I can’t comment. As a reference, not as a proof, I heard from very traditional Rabonim commenting that R Sacks had an amazing ability to connect to modern intellectuals (These Rabbis did not comment on his knowledge of Rishonim).
Your concern would be valid if I limit myself to learning R Sacks essays exclusively, but I did not. I can assure you that I read R Avigdor Miller Z’L also (and listened on tape borrowed from kollel before we had divrei Torah online).
What is the story with posthumous divrei torah? Are they reprints of old ones? quotes from seforim? Or thoughts of the current generation? I picked up latest Toras Avigdor and found an interesting and relevant discussion of Trotsky, but then the mehaber says that he thinks Trotsky was _probably_ killed in Mexico and his last moment was “with a gun to his temple” – and still did not do teshuva. The Rav was 30+ years old when Trotsky was killed, so he surely knew that the guy was killed in Mexico and with an axe. I am sure he made a couple of jokes about it. so, who is actually writing this?
And it made me think that Trotsky was killed in such a sudden way to maybe prevent him from attempting teshuva?
Eckstein: You may not like the idea of a woman writing divrei torah but her Sefaria commentaries are up there with those of Toras Avigdor and other mainstream works on the weekly parsha
