A Book Week Suggestion

This month is שבוע הספר העברי [in sfarim stores it last longer than a week]. Here is my TOP SUGGESTION [besides the sefarim of Mori Vi-rabbi Shlita which require a separate appreciation].

Just about the greatest gaon in the last 50 years was Rav Dovid Mann ztz"l. He was the Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva in Kfar Chasidim and was a frighteningly brilliant scholar. I can only think of one recent parallel to him in pure genius and originality. After you learn his sefarim, much of the other material you will encounter might be nice but not in his league. He was in a league all his own.

He asks question after question until you think there is no way out. Then he deftly explains everything, often turning the STRONGEST QUESTIONS into PROOFS for his position. The Torah SHINES when you learn with him. Everything makes SOOO MUCH SENSE when before you started nothing DIDN'T make sense, after you hear his questions nothing DOES make sense and after you hear his answers everything dances. Un-real. He has sfarim on the chumash called די באר [8 volumes] on the Rambam hilchos melachim - באר מרים and much more [יד מלך, תהילה לדוד].

If you want to learn at the highest level with the greatest level of understanding - he is the address. Please treat yourself to his sfarim.

At the Yeshiva Gedola D'skype [recorded shiurim division] we learn and share his Torah with a wider audience. You can tune in there as well.

The ikker - don't waste time reading all the nonsense [blogs, newspapers etc.] out there when you could instead be clinging to Hashem through His holy Torah.
