    This series of lectures provides an in-depth exploration of the nature of prophecy, Divine inspiration and spiritual states that were available in Biblical times, and will be prevalent during Messianic times.   These shiurim were given by Rabbi Mendel Kessin in the Winter of 1986. We are proud to present it to our current, wide audience.  In addition to the dedications mentioned in the lecture, this lecture is also dedicated to and should be a merit for the Ramchal, who's yahrtzeit is soon. His neshama should have an aliyah. torahthinking.org

    Intro given 10/30/2023 by Rabbi Mendel Kessin This shiur (class) was given before Tisha B'Av in 2002. It was recorded and distributed by the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation (https://cchf.global/). It was then re-distributed by Or Ganuz (https://www.concealedlight.com/) Afterword by Harav Shmuel Kamenetzky, Shlit"a Due to the current Middle East conflict and the protection Shmiras Halashon (watching what you say) can bring, Rabbi Kessin has decided to re-post this shiur.
