While we're all here learning, every person yearns to teach someone else. On multiple occasions, I was asked who is my best student, and while this question seems simple the answer is one that affects all of us.
The Chovot HaLevavot tells us more about the behind the scenes reasons behind the writing of this book.
Many people run after "the new tzadik" in town without realizing that there are certain requirements that are missing from the "tzadik" and perhaps from them themselves in order to know the difference.
Tune in to a massively important shiur that will teach you who is the best student and why it should be You. Learn, Enjoy, Share and Be Holy.
