At the Seder, people think of Rabbi David Feinstein as the halachic authority, whose Kol Dodi Haggadah sets forth and clarifies the procedure for every aspect of the Seder.
But there is another, barely known, facet of the man's astounding Torahgreatness -- one that became known to the general public only with thepublication of his Kol Dodi on the Torah. For many years he has delivered shiurimon the weekly Torah reading every Friday at Mesivtha TiferethJerusalem, where he serves as Rosh Yeshiva. In those lectures, thisself-effacing scholar analyzes the construction of a phrase, comparesit with similar texts, notes nuances that elude most students, delvesinto human nature, cites obscure but relevant teachings of the Sages,and sheds light on halachic and ethical teachings.
His approach is original. His conclusions are unique applications ofclassic rabbinic elucidation. One can close his eyes and let hisimagination drift to the great Torah masters of old as he listens tothese superb gems of timeless wisdom. Until now, these outstanding shiurim were known only to those who attended the lectures, many of whom juggled their professional schedules to come.
In this brilliant work, Rabbi Feinstein does the same with the Haggadah.With the Rosh Yeshiva's cooperation many of his insights andinterpretations on the Haggadah have now been adapted by Pinchos OsherRohr for the delight of thousands at their own Seder.
To those who know the Rosh Yeshiva's brilliance, it will be a welcome reminderof his teachings. To those who have never heard him, it will be likethe sunrise of a clear day -- a flash of light that will continue togive warmth, light and pleasure.
