Chovos HaLevavos
Sun-Thurs • 9:00-9:15pm
a mini-shiur in תובבלה תובוח רפס, going through the רפס. dedicated
to explaining and encouraging us in our serving haShem
by sincerely felt emotions and attitudes. The actions we
are obligated in are but a gateway to our relationship with
haShem, which is through our inner selves, through the lev
(heart and mind). rabbeinu Bachya pinpoints ten principles
that significantly manifest this. Yes, you can probably “read”
chovos haLevavos yourself (would you?), but to truly
understand, appreciate, and internalize its teachings, try this
shiur, with rav malinowitz’s expert method of teaching it.
