Description

In this Pirkei Avot shiur based upon the insights of Reb Chaim of Volozhin we will study the special status of the prophecy of Moshe Rabenu which results from Moshe's humility. What is ענוה (humility)? Can we offer a precise definition? One of Reb Chaim's themes in his commentary on Avot is comparing Moshe & Yehoshua. In Moshe's case we have מסירה; in Yehoshua we find קבלה. Moshe is compared to the sun, Yehoshua to the moon.
