Lighting the Way

Hadrachah for life by Rav Moshe Rabinowitz zt”l
Based on the weekly parshah

Rav Moshe Eliezer Rabinowitz zt”l was a beloved rav and mechanech who inspired and guided thousands. His dynamic shmuessen, featuring his trademark wit and vivid stories and parables, were popular among bachurim, yungeleit, as well as ba’alei batim. With his clear, down-to-earth style, he had the unique ability to really “bring a lesson home” with audiences of all types.

His shmuessen were based on the Ohr Hachaim and the lessons and ideas that Rabbi Rabinowitz had learned from his great rabbeim, primarily among them Rav Chaim Shmulevitz, Rav Yitzchak Feigelstock, Rav Elya Roth, and Rav Chaim Brim, zichronam l’vrachah. He would also sprinkle in stories and concepts that he had heard from the many other gedolim with whom he had forged a close connection. Thus, the shmuessen became known as a solid source of pure, Torah-true hashkafas hachaim.

Lighting the Way: Hadrachah for Life by Rav Moshe Rabinowitz zt”l is a compilation of these much sought-after shmuessen, in written form. In each page, in each shmuess, readers will be able to “hear” Rabbi Rabinowitz’s vibrant voice, and the fundamental lessons he taught, coming through clearly. And the inspiration will last long after each piece has been read.
