In this podcast, Rabbi Bossewitch presents a condensed version of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's lectures from the 1960s and 1970s (in Boston), which typically lasted 2 1/2 hours.

Additionally, the goal is to engage a global community of Rav enthusiasts. New episodes released on the 1st of the month.

Experience the Rav
Rabbi Avi does an amazing job in teaching and clarifying the teachings of the Rav in a deep and profound manner that leaves me feeling like “please don’t stop”. His analysis and commentary helps me understand the teachings of the Rav and the important lessons he taught his students and Klal Yisroel. Thank you Rabbi Avi. I look forward to each podcast and the lessons you impart through your unique style of teaching.
Brilliant format
Thank you Rabbi Bossewitch. So brilliantly formatted and delivered. You distilled the Rav’s monumental ideas so clearly and delivered them in such such a concise, digestible format that took nothing from their power. Yasher Kochacha, looking forward to many more!
Perfect bite size meaningful Torah for my day.
Perfect for a short perfect morning listen. I loved the recaps- you can tell Rabbi Bossewitch is an educator. Perfect for crystallizing a unique torah approach for my day!
