We will begin with a brief turn to the teachings of the key figures presented in the companion volume to this book, whose writings are the hearthstones of contemporary Neo-Hasidism. My goal, however, is not to describe their work but to add a new voice to the conversation. I will stake the claim that Neo-Hasidism must be a movement of praxis, one affirming that the life of the spirit is embodied and expressed through concrete deeds. A sense of obligation must be central to our conversation about halakhah, just as a mandate of responsibility is integral to our covenantal relationship with the Divine.\n\nDONATE: bit.ly/1NmpbsP\nLEARNING MATERIALS: http://bit.ly/2FTx06J\n\nFor more info, please visit:\nwww.facebook.com/valleybeitmidrash/\ntwitter.com/VBMTorah\nwww.facebook.com/RabbiShmulyYanklowitz/\nwww.facebook.com/temple.chai\n\nMusic: \"Watercolors\" by John Deley and the 41 Players, a public domain track from the YouTube Audio Library","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rgXhZfTlnTjybGe2Y8VJvw1nIGugVMdj7wEKsMGYlrk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI5ODEyLzE2NTEw/Nzg1NjAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
