Redemption to Redemption
Based on the book Redemption to Redemption by Rabbi Pinchas Winston, these lectures examine the deep connection between the holidays of Purim and Pesach. Even though Purim occurred after the close of the Torah, nevertheless, it is our preparation for the holiday of Pesach. If one understands the true opportunity of Purim, and takes advantage of it, then he will be in better position to experience the redemptive power of Pesach. And, to this, we must first better understand the story of Yosef and his brothers, as it relates to the Mishkan. Listen Now. |

Nefesh HaChaim with Rabbi Pinchas Winston
The work Nefesh HaChaim, by Rabbi Chaim Volozhin, one of the foremost students of the Vilna Gaon and said to be the "Father of the Yeshivah Movement", is a classic, but not in the classical sense. There are four "gates" in the entire sefer, each one dealing with a different topic, and each topic treated on a relatively deep level of understanding. The first gate of 22 chapters explains what it means to have been made "in the image of God", and the implications of being so. The Nefesh HaChaim, quoting extensively from the Zohar, reveals the level of interaction between man and God, and how every act, word, and thought of Jew affects the direction of Creation, for good or for bad. To this extent, the entire sefer is very empowering, and encourages one to live up to his potential to become that which God cherishes most: a partner in fulfilling the plan for Creation.
