Rabbi Yehoshua Hartman addresses Junior Class

Last Sunday, our 11th graders had the tremendous zechus of hearing from a huge Talmud Chacham, Rabbi Yehoshua Hartman.  Rabbi Hartman is a renowned scholar most famous for his commentary on the teachings of Maharal of Prague. Rabbi Hartman has written over 10 volumes on the writings of the Maharal, and has made the often difficult teachings of the Maharal more clear and accessible for all to learn; he also heads the Hasmonean Beis Hamedrash in Hendon, London. Rav Hartman spoke to the boys about making their Chanukah holiday more meaningful.
