Description
This class will examine the the key themes in the published Teshuva lectures, both in English and Hebrew, of the late Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein, one of the intellectual thought leaders of the Modern-Orthodox world in the last half century. We will look for recurring patterns and concepts, study how these themes integrate with R. Lichtenstein’s broader world view, and make some comparisons and contrasts to other thinkers on repentance, such as Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik and Rabbi Yitzhak Hutner.
