Join us for a captivating episode as we spotlight Rabbi Yitzhak Berdugo's important book, "Understanding Ḥazal," which offers an English translation of Rabbeinu Avraham Ben HaRambam's guide to deciphering the words of our Sages. This meticulously crafted guide, complete with an elegantly typeset Hebrew translation, is enriched with insights from Ḥakhamim throughout the generations. Discover why Rabbi Berdugo believes that now, more than ever, understanding the teachings of our Sages is crucial, particularly in the face of scrutiny from academia, atheists, and other skeptics. Reflecting on his personal journey to Torah observance, Rabbi Berdugo sheds light on the challenges confronting the current generation and how the classical Geonic-Sepharadi tradition can serve as a formidable defense against modern assaults on Judaism. In this enlightening conversation, we uncover the significance of properly grasping Aggadah and its potential role in elevating the next generation of Torah study.
