Rabbi Moshe Turk
Rabbi Moshe Turk is the founder and co- director of the Jewish Heritage Center of Queens and Long Island, an internationally renowned Jewish Outreach Center. Together with fellow co-director Rabbi Naftali Portnoy, he built up this respected organization, which since 1987 has reached out to more than 15,000 Jewish Adults throughout the Metropolitan New York area. More than 7,500 of their students have made noticeable and significant strides towards deepening their commitment to Jewish Life.Rabbi Turk's classes embrace many of the profound concepts of Torah thought yet are delivered in a way that is clear and understandable even to those who have no previous background in Torah study. Most of the selections contained here are from his weekly series on the first two Books of the Torah. These (often interactive) sessions cull the insights of Traditional Commentaries (m'forshim) to bring out the deeper meaning and beauty which lies beneath the text. Practical lessons for life and for personal growth are discussed in each session.
