Description

How does the Ish Halacha vanquish the fear of death? How and why does Halachik Man control his emotional life, stay clear of melancholy and recoil from any exaggerated spirit of joy? How does his individuality express itself and why is it the essence of his personality? In this shiur we will study a number of stories the Rav tells about his grandfather, Reb Chaim Brisker, and analyize the contrast between the man of Halacha & the universal man of religion.
