Rabbi Yissocher Frand

Rabbi Yissocher Frand, of the Ner Israel Rabbinical College, delivers a weekly class in Jewish law and ethics based on the Torah portion of the week.

While the actual class contains an extensive discussion of Halachic [Jewish law] issues, these transcripts concern only the hashkafa section – that dealing with philosophical and ethical issues. These classes will leave you awe-struck with inspiration and motivation. Enjoy them with your family and friends.
