In-depth study of Tanach following the order of the chapters, with close attention to the language of Hashem and the Nevi'im
Analytical study of Mishnayot, connecting them to their roots in Tanach and Halachah, while building a clear understanding of the foundational concepts and the flow of the sugyot
Learning sugyot in Gemara with a focus on clarity, inner structure, and depth of Chazal’s intent
The Torah of Rabbi Uri Holtzman spans the in-depth study of Tanach, grounded in careful attention to the language of the Torah and a deep connection to the structure of the pesukim and the flow of the parshiyot.
His unique perspective on the place of the nations of the world, on the processes of Geulah, and on Hashem’s conduct in the world and in Eretz Yisrael, brings a clarity that deepens the understanding of both the pesukim and the teachings of Chazal.
The shiurim are built upon the depth of the language of the pesukim, together with a connection to the teachings of Chazal, midrashim, and the commentaries of the Rishonim and Achronim alongside thoughtful reflection on the reality of Eretz Yisrael in our generation.
The sefer “Lehithalech” developed from a collection of weekly publications produced over approximately five years, based on Rabbi Holtzman’s shiurim on the weekly Parashah and the Yamim Tovim.
Now organized into a structured series following the Chumash and the yearly cycle, the work presents a distinct approach:
A continuous “walking before Hashem” through attentive reading of the pshat, depth of language, and the teachings of Chazal and the mefarshim, revealing within each parashah a living process of growth and development.
The style of the essays preserves their original character, providing a focused and relatively concise overview of profound concepts, offering a “bird’s-eye view” of the parshiyot and Chumashim
Backed by a deep and rigorous process of analysis drawn from the oral shiurim, rooted in the teachings of our Rishonim and Achronim, opening new horizons in the understanding of Hashem’s Torah.
