Conversations II – says it all
I am putting the finishing touches to Conversations II, BH.
So slow posting again until Wednesday.
But in the meantime, I wanted to put up the contents page for the book, with the headings of the classes and topics the Rav covered the last couple of years. It really says it all.
And it made me feel quite weepy, seeing this all laid out so clearly.
BH, the dawn will break soon.
It’s hard to hang on for this to turn around.

Maybe, print this out and spend some time in hitbodedut reflecting on what has been done to us the last few years, what we’ve all gone through…. and how desperately we need a new paradigm in our world.
May it be speedily in our days. Amen.
REMINDER:
You can help to write the Rav’s Sefer Torah for the soldiers in the following ways:
20,000 nis – donates a whole section of parchment (including the actual writing), and gets your names transcribed as donors.
5,000 nis – donates a page (parchment and writing).
OR, donate whatever amount you can afford.
In all cases, just go to THIS link, and make it clear in the comments that the donation is for the Rav’s Sefer Torah.
YOU CAN ALSO MAKE A ‘STAGED’ DONATION OVER A FEW MONTHS, IF YOU WANT TO BUY A PAGE ETC, BUT CAN’T AFFORD TO DO IT IN ONE SHOT.

Where is Conversations I?
https://www.amazon.com/Rabbi-Eliezer-Berlands-Conversations-Berland/dp/1676252193/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Q9P2BUJPT6PV&keywords=conversations+Rabbi+Eliezer+Berland&qid=1707837163&sprefix=conversations+rabbi+eliezer+berlan%2Caps%2C264&sr=8-1
Wow, what a job you did here, Rivka. Fantastic!
But before your book is published, where can we find the various articles: on the Rav’s English website? Are they still there since the first of your series?
Thanks
Some of the posts are actually up on my own website, here.
But a lot of the material I translated specially for Conversations II.
Also, check the ravberland.com site – they have a different translator who has put up a lot of the Rav’s stuff too, albeit in their own translating style.
Thanks Rivka.
Yasher Koach!
bs”d I love it! And it looks like the Rav is posting 4 shiurim in a day to make it in time for the book.
