He loved people....


Hebrew:

An M.A. thesis on the philosophical lomdus of the Rogochover ztz"l in the sichos of the Lubavitcher Rebbe ztz"l.  In order to write a really good paper on this topic one has to be a HUUUUUGEE lamdan and a HUUUUUGEEE philosopher. It is an extreme rarity to find one person who is both. In general I find that when the world of academia discusses lomdus they are eating soup with a fork וד"ל.  But good marei mekomos:-).

The merging of the Chasidic Rebbe and the lamdan in the chidushim of Sfas Emes on Shas. I don't agree with every point he made but nevertheless a GREAT article.
