Machshava:

Prophecy 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Mevoh Hashe'arim

Description

Chassidus - the continuation of Nevu'ah (prophecy). Inherent quality / potential of prophecy in every Jew. The different types of prophecy: a) nevi'im, functioned like chachamim (wise men) to bring chiddushim (new insights in Torah) to the Jewish nation; they used logic and intelligence; b) Hora'as sha'ah - a temporary emergency measure. The advantage of a Navi over a regular chacham. What happened to the mussar (ethics) of the many prophets who left Egypt? The difference between the 48 male and 7 female "named" prophets and all other prophets. Prophecy that was required for all generations as opposed to temporary nevu'ah.
