GENERAL OVERVIEW
The fundamental challenge of life is recognizing and developing human potential. Our success at this mission not only constitutes a personal victory. Nearly all the crises we see around us – personal and global – can be ameliorated or resolved if we just had more heroic individuals of noble spirit and refined character. Each of us possesses this nobility and refinement in potential, and each of us can draw forth this human greatness and transform ourselves through the study of Torah and the observance of mitzvos. This is the miracle of change.

Rav Yerucham’s shiur, as told through Rabbi Kelemen, is profound and important for everyone to hear who are interested in character development. Richard Polak
This ongoing lecture series is probably Rabbi Kelemen’s most important work yet. He presents a series of lectures, following very closely, the work of R. Yerucham Levovitz, the Mashgiach of the Mir, in his sefer Das Chochma U’Mussar. He adds his own extremely informative, relevant and practical commentary to make this information useful, and user friendly. He discusses the ability of G-D to do miracles for each and every one of us, and what we have to do in order to receive them. To say that this information is life-changing is a huge understatement. It is, frankly, blow-away content. It can turn your entire life upside down, and forever change your view of the world, yourself, and your purpose on this earth. I honestly and simply cannot see how any Jew could live his life without it. Lawrence Kurz, MD
Rav Yerucham’s teachings are amazing. I feel the shiurim has taught me invaluable lessons, for life, and Rabbi Kelemen is such a wonderful teacher! His interpretations and explanations are so very understandable and meaningful and his sense of humor is always appreciated. Susan Wikoff
For me, the shiur takes the foundation of life – everything we experience in the world – and explains how it’s the path to holiness. As a baalas teshuva, I have explored many paths to find the “spiritual” – but it was always something that was “out THERE”. This class has brought home the reality of living a life where a person actually understands the different levels of “spirituality” and how to get there. And it’s completely NOT what I thought it would be. I deal with my struggles in life on a more meaningful level because of what I have learned. My only complaint is that I have always davened to “reach my potential”. I feel like this class has actually taught me how to work toward that goal, but it’s HARD. I wanted to be carried to my potential….SANS struggle… Jenna Wilkin
