Over the past year I have given adult ed classes on the lives and literary hallmarks of four important Jewish personalities. Here are the handouts, for anyone out there who may find them to be useful. Perhaps at a later date I will add to this post with some guiding notes and highlights.

Ramchal – “Literary Kabbalistic Scholar”

Malbim – “Me’at Vera’im Hayu Yimei Shnei Chayei”

Nechama Leibowitz – “B’chal Yom K’Chadashim B’einecha”

Brisker Derech – History and Methodology (presented in memory of Rav Aharon Lichtenstein) – “Ki MiBrisk Teitzei Torah”
