Class 2 - The Founder of Ishbitz Chassidism

The Rabbi's of the Ishbitz Dynasty.

12/31/07

The Founder of Ishbitz Chassidism,
Rabbi Mordechai Joseph Leiner.

His life and some of his teaching.

His Chassidic roots in the court of Simcha Bunim of Peshischa, & his relationship and break with Reb Menchem Mendel of Kotzk.

A radical new notion on the nature of Sin,(if there is such a thing).
Free Choice, the obligation of Halacha, verses the will of the Divine that is outside of halacha.

A new way to interpret the Biblical account of Yehuda and Joseph as prototypes of the two schools.

How Ishbitz is part of Mainstream Judaism and how it pushes the envelope.
