Divrei Halev (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Ronald D Price | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Divrei Halev is the result of a multi year collaboration between Rabbi Ronald
D. Price and his teacher, the world renowned Talmudic scholar Rabbi
Professor David Weiss Halivni, of blessed memory. Nearly every week from
2008-2012, Rav Halivni shared a thought with Rabbi Price on the weekly
portion, which the student faithfully recorded.

This collection gathers over 200 brief divrei Torah spanning all fifty-four
parashiyot, offering a window into the mind and heart of one of the greatest
Jewish thinkers of our time. Divrei Halev brings Halivni's unique voice,
steeped in rigorous Talmudic analysis, spiritual depth, and moral clarity into
the rhythm of weekly Torah study.

Rabbi Professor David Weiss Halivni z"l (1927-2022) was one of the most
profound Talmudic scholars and theological voices of the postwar era. A
Holocaust survivor, Halivni went on to shape generations of students through his
decades of teaching at the Jewish Theological Seminary, Columbia University,
and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Renowned for his revolutionary "Stammaitic" theory of Talmudic composition,
Halivni challenged readers to differentiate between the teachings of the Amoraim
and the later anonymous editorial voices. His magnum opus, Mekorot u-
Mesorot, remains a cornerstone of critical Talmud study.
A deeply committed halakhist and theologian, Halivni's faith was sharpened--
not shattered--by his experiences in the Shoah. He offered a powerful
theological vision that acknowledged divine revelation while confronting the
human role in transmission and textual development.
His intellectual legacy continues to inspire those who seek to balance rigorous
academic honesty with spiritual depth and reverence for tradition. The newly
released Divrei Halev, by Rabbi Ronald D. Price, brings Halivni's insights into
the weekly parasha to a broader audience, opening a window into the heart and
thought of this extraordinary teacher.
