Dancing Before Death | Torat HaChassidut (14)

Rebbi Elimelech of Lezhensk's Tzetel katan digs deeper into the words of the sages about the importance of a Torah Study schedule. While all Torah scholars agree, many non scholars think it unnecessary. In order to truly understand, sometimes the proper analogy with an extreme twist is the best fit.

Today we will learn about the Dance Before Death, The Crooked who Cannot be Straightened, and the ultimate end of those who chose the wrong side. Learn, Enjoy, Share and Be Holy.
