  Rav Yoseph Soloveichik Audio delivered by Jewish Torah Audio of 613.org
Rav Yosef Dov Soloveichik (Soloveitchik) is considered one of the greatest Rabbis of the 20th century.
Rav talks about how Megillat Esther came to be part of the Kitvei HaKodesh.
There are 2 interesting stories, one of what Rav Chaim told his son Rav Moshe (the Rav's father) when the latter left Brisk to become a rav in another town; and the other of the kadosh "Reb Man" of Vilna.

 How the Rav Stayed With Me - The Commentator - YUdaica
Shiur after exhilarating shiur, we watched the Rav coolly, objectively and incisively reason to achieve an interpretation of the Talmudic texts that was intellectually elegant and as consistent as possible with other texts.
The Rav, who had studied philosophy in Berlin, was much too respectful of continental philosophy in the first half of the 20th century; I never went along with him in his admiration for the existentialists or for philosophers of religion like Rudolph Otto.
The Rav's example had left me with no option; if I was going to do philosophy as he did Talmud, I must be focused on the subject matter and not on the potential reader.

 rav01
Rav Joseph Baer (Yosef Dov) Halevi Soloveitchik (1903- 1993) was born in Pruzhan, Poland.
The Rav's relationship with his father was one of the two most central relationships in his life, the other being that with his wife; three of his major published philosophical works carry dedications, one to his father and two to his wife.
On occasion, the Rav's education lends his writings a dated quality (now that the "modern" philosophy of the 1920's is not as modern); generally, though, it facilitates his shedding new light on familiar topics and adds depth to his understanding of the confrontation between religion and the modern world.

 Rav Shimshon Raphael Hirsch
Rav Shamshon Raphael was born on 24 Sivan, 5568/1808, in Hamburg, Germany.
Rav Menachem Mendel, a student of Rav Yonasan Eibeshitz, was rav of the three communities of Altuna, Hamburg and Wandsbeck.
Although Rav Menachem Mendel's son, Rav Raphael Aryeh, was a merchant, he was an outstanding talmid chacham who had a burning desire to reverse the growing trend of German Jews casting off the yoke of Torah as a result of inroads made by the Reform Movement.

Rav is packaged in his beast form, a 5" long, 3 1/2" tall raven.
Rav has also been released in an alternate color scheme, predominantly a dark translucent blue with violet legs and silver painted markings.
All in all, Rav is a fairly neat little toy in either incarnation, though his distrubution at the time of this writing seems to be fairly limited (aside from finding them at online stores, the only reported sightings have been at ShopKo and Target stores).

 Rav Kook on Sabbatiansim   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In general, Rav Kook views the various pseudomessianic movements that plagued the Jewish People in exile, and Shabbetai Zevi and Jacob Frank in particular, as eruptions of the soulful side of the collective Jewish personality.
It is also not beyond Rav Kook to display empathy and understanding for Rabbi Jacob Emden’s disparagements of certain passages in Zohar, motivated as Emden was by the desire to undercut the Sabbatians, who to a large degree based themselves on Zohar.
Finally, for Rav Kook as for—mutatis mutandis—Sabbatians, “the light of Moses” and “the light of Messiah” are antithetical, being united only at the root of their souls in the “supernal splendor of Adam” (zihara ‘ila’ah de-adam ha-rishon).

 Jewish Education at the Lookstein Center - RAV JOSEPH B Soleveitchik
I vividly recall the Rav's address to a Rabbinical Council convention where he discussed the dilemma facing the posek who is torn between the prohibition against worshiping in a synagogue which violates halakhic standards and the responsibility to prevent the total assimilation of a Jewish community.
The Rav endorsed this procedure in spite of the fact that it was probable that the chaplain might be forced to desecrate the Sabbath.
Although the Rav's approach does not satisfy the demand for dogmatic pronouncements, in the long run it holds the greatest promise for those seeking to combine commitment to halakha with a selective acceptance of the ethos of modernity, which emphasizes the preciousness of individual autonomy and freedom.

 Jewish Education at the Lookstein Center - A EULOGY FOR THE RAV
Thus, for example, the Rav's reconciliation of the differing viewpoints of Maimonides and Nahmanides as regards the obligation to pray, whether its source was rabbinic or in Torah law, became the source of his teaching on the "depth crisis" of everyday life.
The Rav believed that the great thinkers of mankind had truths to teach to all of us, truths which were not necessarily invalid or unimportant because they derived from non-sacred sources.
The Rav was not a lamdan who happened to have and use a smattering of general culture, and he was certainly not a philosopher who happened to be a talmid hakham, a Torah scholar.

One summer, Rav Kook and his colleagues went on a tour of these settlements in an attempt to encourage the pioneers to observe more mitzvot, especially the laws pertaining to agriculture and produce.
This passage has served as a model of Rav Kook's thought on the subject of "means and ends." Let's now identify these ideas of "tree and fruit" and "means and ends" with a new set of concepts: Kodesh and Chol (sacred and profane).
Rav Kook's concept of means and ends serves as the basis for his understanding of the relationship between Kodesh and Chol.

 Test Drive Notes: Toyota RAV 4 1999
The 1999 RAV 4 is largely unchanged compared to the '98 RAV 4.
Unfortunately, the RAV does have a small engine compartment, which is made a little worse by the addition of the ABS system, so servicing will be a bit of a challenge.
Overall, however, we expect the RAV to be below average cost in servicing, and it should have a better-than-average repair record--mainly because it's a Toyota, and Toyota does a great job engineering and designing their cars.
