Divrei HaRav - Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik

Collected lectures, insights and rulings of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, zt"l
by Rabbi Hershel Schachter

Divrei HaRav continues in the spirit of Rabbi Schachter's earlier books, Nefesh HaRav and MiPninei HaRav, consisting of extensive collections of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's ("the Rav") rulings and practices ordered on the Shulchan Aruch, his insights into the weekly Torah reading, and summaries of his lectures.

The first section of Divrei HaRav is a collection of several of the Rav's famous public addresses. The second section is a continuation of the previous two volumes' recording and explaining the Rav's halachic rulings and practices, following the order of the Shulchan Aruch. In the third section, Rabbi Schachter assembles additional accounts and descriptions of the Rav's practices and rulings.

The fourth section consists of Rabbi Schachter's address on the Rav’s tenth yahrtzeit, in which he analyzes the Rav's approach to issuing halachic rulings. In particular, Rabbi Schachter focuses on the meaning of various conflicting accounts of the Rav's positions. The fifth section contains insights into the weekly Torah portion, adding material to that presented in previous volumes. The book concludes with a global index for all three volumes.
