Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz

The Mirrer Rosh Yeshiva.

Hagaon Hagadol Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz inspired thousands of students with his brilliant and electrifying shmuessen, combining his encyclopedic knowledge of Shas Bavli, Yerushalmi, and Midrashim with deep analysis and profound emotion to bring mussar to life.

Considered a classic, his sefer Sichos Mussar has influenced countless talmidim. With this new publication, previously untranslated shmuessen are now available to the English-speaking readership, ensuring that generations to come will continue to be guided and inspired by his Torah.

“My brother Avraham Friedman has studied and taught many of these shmuessen to talmidim throughout the world. I believe that this work is very important.”

Rabbi Chanoch Friedman, Rosh Kollel, Beis Yechiel, Yerushalayim

“Rabbi Avraham Friedman has translated a significant number of the shmuessen of Harav Chaim Shmuelevitz, zt”l, into English. [This work] offers people the opportunity to become familiar with the great gaon u’manhig and Gadol Hador of Klal Yisrael. It will give people entrée into the great Torah of Reb Chaim.”

Rabbi Zev Cohen, Mara D’asra, K’hal Adas Yeshurun, Chicago
