Description
In this Pirkei Avot shiur based upon the insights of Reb Chaim of Volozhin regarding the Quest for Truth, we will try to understand the significance of the fact that the Torah was given to Moshe Rabenu as a gift and of the recitation of the Birchas HaTorah before we commence learning. Why did Rebby name the 1st Masechet 'Berachot'? Why did the בה"ג open his great work by copying Birchas HaTorah word by word? Can a Talmid argue with his Rebby? What is the significance of קנין התורה, of acquiring ownership over the Torah? How does one accomplish this goal? Why was the Torah given in the wilderness? What should one set as his goal when he studies Torah?
