Posted 1 year agoProfessor Pinchas Shir is very knowledgeable with the content and the presentation is very clear. There's a believers' group that say they are Israel, try to grow their beards , do not allow women to speak and all that. But based on this extremely sound teaching , it is evident that translation has been an issue. Torah is for everyone, but applications are different. This is so eye-opening. -
