Every Erev Shabbos, Rabbi Yehoshua Liff sits down and speaks directly — about the parsha, about what is happening in our world, and about the stories he carries from the gedolim he learned from. He has been teaching in Eretz Yisroel for close to four decades, first as Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Ner Yaakov and now as Nasi of Yeshiva Ateres Yaakov in Ramat Beit Shemesh. His Artscroll book At His Rebbe's Side captures his years alongside Rav Moshe Feinstein, Rav Shach, Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz, and others. This podcast is where he shares that same voice each week.
