Description

Join Harvard Divinity Student (and Lehrhaus mashgiach!) Shabbos Kestenbaum to ask questions like: What can the Kotzker’s radical teachings and lifestyle teach us about contemporary Chasidism and our relationship with God in the 21st century? Menachem Mendel Morgenstern, more commonly known as the Kotzker Rebbe, is perhaps the most widely misunderstood and tragic Chasidic figures in Jewish history. Known for his radical reinterpretation of the Baal Shem Tov’s theology and reclusive lifestyle, the Kotzker reluctantly inspired a new generation of Polish Chasidism. Open to any learning level; text in English and Hebrew.
