Author: Shimon Gershon Rosenberg
Al Kapot HaMan'ul; Homilies for the Days of Awe is a collection of High Holiday sermons delivered by the religious postmodern Israeli thinker Rav Shimon Gershon Rosenberg (known as Rav Shagar for his acronym) and a continuation of the collection “Zikaron leYom Rishon.” Drawing on traditional legal sources, philosophy, and chasidic thought, the work addresses concepts such as sin, guilt, compassion, and dread, aiming to connect them to lived human experience.
