Lights Along the Way (Mesilas Yesharim), Introduction
By Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski
We all — or, at least, most of us — want to be virtuous. But how does one change from what he is to where he wants to be?
Some 300 years ago, a Hebrew-language book was published in Amsterdam that sought to give its reader a game plan to do just that. It spurred movements and hasn’t been out of print since. The Book, “Mesilas Yesharim” (”Path of the Just”) , answers all of the Big Questions a person of faith grapples with on a regular basis. Among them, “What is man’s obligation in his world?”And it does so in a style that is at once deep and yet practical.
Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski, the author of more than 50 books, and a regular contributor to JewishWorldReview.com, has agreed to record a series of short audio classes (under 10 minutes each) that brings the wisdom of the centuries-old bestseller to an English-speaking contemporary audience who otherwise may have never gained from its valuable depth. A master of the spirit and the mind, he applies the timeless to the timely. The series begins today with an overview and a look at why “denial” is so central to our personalities — and what to do about it.
