don't always agree with him but this is a great podcast to listen to when at work and he introduced me to the work of Rav Hirsch. kol hakavod.
Description
A tribute to the legacy of Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch
Why This Title? It was his motto ’sich selbst begreifendes Ju dentum ’, Judaism understood from within, a term that encapsulates Rav Hirsch’s approach of diving into the essence of Judaism, viewing it through its inherent structures rather than through external lenses.
