DAYS OF JOY : IDEAS AND INSIGHTS OF THE SFAS EMES ON CHANUKAH AND PURIM

For nearly a century, Sfas Emes has been the challenging and provocative fare of outstanding scholars. One of the most brilliant roshei yeshivah of the last generation said, "I study the Sfas Emes every year, and whenever I review it again, I discover new ideas." Embedded between the lines are diamonds waiting to be mined. lt is a work that defies categorization. It is replete with the sort of insights that makes the perceptive reader gasp with the thrill of discovery, smile at the realization that a novel idea is truly the essence of the passage.
