Perceptions
In Perceptions On The Parsha, Rabbi Pinchas Winston provides subtle but important insights that pertain to everyday life. Rabbi Winston tries to reveal the genius of Torah, by showing how the obvious is a camouflage for the hidden, and actually demands deeper investigation into the Torah. In addition, it is Rabbi Winston’s goal to address important issues that people wonder about, using nistar [hidden aspects of Torah] as well as niglah [revealed aspects of Torah] to provide satisfying and uplifting answers. Rabbi Winston’s parsha class includes four separate sections, providing divrei Torah for Friday night, Shabbos day, Seudah Shlishis, and Melave Malkah.
