Chesed (Loving Kindness)

Our main text book will be Ahavath Chesed by the Chafetz Chaim. We shall also be looking at other sources such as The Guide for the Perplexed, Duties of the Heart, Mishna Torah Foundations of Torah, and of course the Tanach.

A devout student of Torah, a teacher, essayist and lecturer, he has introduced hundreds of students to the reality of the First Covenant, and to faithful observance of its principles.
