The Shmuz

As an honored member of Klal Yisroel you don’t need to spend time groping in the darkness trying to figure out who you are. Baruch Hashem, we have an array of mind-blowing sefarim that give us the answers to life's most challenging questions. 

And that’s what this new weekly shiur is focused on. It’s a compilation of the Derech Hashem and the Mesilas Yesharim, along with other seforim that will get you in a good head space for Yomim Noraim and may also just change your life.Just imagine with me for a moment.
