Dovid HaMelech used the power of Brachos to stop the plague of his time. These days, coronavirus presents a similar opportunity to deepen our connection with Hashem. That’s why Torah educators in Jerusalem have put together this special seminar:
The Bracha Seminar is a self-guided, 8-part course (each a 20-minute module) that examines classical Torah sources on the hashkafic and halachic underpinnings of Brachos.
The goal is to connect with Hashem through saying Brachos with greater kavana. Join all of Klal Yisrael in this important effort. HaRav HaGaon Reuven Feinstein, shlita, and HaRav HaGaon Noach Isaac Oelbaum, shlita, have provided their written haskamas.
Registration is free and the sessions start May 3, 2020 (two per week until Shavuos).
Sign up now at www.brachaseminar.com.
The seminar concludes with a practical workshop that draws from the previous sessions. A wide range of texts are studied, including Gemara, Midrash, Maharal, Kuzari, Ramchal, Nefesh HaChaim, and Shulchan Aruch.
Each session includes a PDF with the original source material – typeset in a user-friendly side-by-side, phrase-by-phrase, Hebrew-English translation.
Why Brachos?
From morning till night, Brachos are intertwined into the fabric of our lives. Every Bracha we say is like a “mindful moment” of connection with Hashem. Especially in today’s challenging times, Brachos inspire us to higher levels of Bitachon, Simcha, Devekus and Yishuv HaDa’as.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to upgrade your kavana leading toward Shavuos.
