Properly understood, \u003ci\u003epesukim, sugyos\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003epsakim\u003c\/i\u003e convey not just what to do to satisfy the demands of the \u003ci\u003ehalachic\u003c\/i\u003e system, but how to think about everything we do in life. According to this view, \u003ci\u003eTorah\u003c\/i\u003e imparts the ideals and values that Hashem wants us to bring to bear on society; \u003ci\u003ehalachah\u003c\/i\u003e affords us the opportunity to think about and reinforce those ideals and values through practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut while \u003ci\u003eRav Soloveitchik\u003c\/i\u003e — and \u003ci\u003eRav Samson Raphael\u003c\/i\u003e Hirsch before him — championed this perspective, there is still much work that needs to be done to apply it. This \u003ci\u003esefer\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to reveal, in an accessible style, the power and beauty of this approach, tackling topics such as \u003ci\u003ebris milah, berachos, beis k’nesses\/beis midrash, hashavas aveidah\u003c\/i\u003e, and the holidays of \u003ci\u003eSukkos\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePesach\u003c\/i\u003e, to draw out “worldviews” from these “sources of Halachah.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTzvi Goldstein\u003c\/b\u003e attended Yeshivat Hakotel as a talmid before studying at Yeshiva University.

He has been teaching since then at Yeshivat Hakotel.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTzvi is passionate about uncovering the relevance of Torah to life, and dedicates his time to assisting talmidim in finding and committing to their unique role as part of the Jewish People.
