Return - Rav Yitzchok Alster

RETURN is a sefer, not a book. It presents an in-depth understanding of the mitzvos and tefillos of Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Sukkos, in a new light.

THIS LIGHT, the light from the ohr ha’ganuz (the hidden light) was originally revealed in the sifrei Maharal. After centuries of neglect, it was rekindled for the Torah world by the appearance of the famous maamarim of Hagaon Harav Yitzchak Hutner, zt”l, and recorded in his sefarim, Pachad Yitzchak.

“He was planted in this generation to bring light to the world and all who dwell in it - a new light”

(From the inscription on his tombstone)

A commentary to enlighten the hearts of the probers of Torah. The spirit of Rav Hutner is evident.

Rav Moshe Shternbuch

He has plumbed the depths of the deep waters of Torah, and drawn its secrets, with acumen and richness.

Rav Aaron Schechter

I sensed the aroma of the perfume shop of my father-in-law’s Torah, transmitted with sweetness and wisdom.

Rav Yonasan David

His very being is suffused to the source - the well of pure waters, the Torah of Rav Yitzchock Hutner.
Rav Alster himself has become a well of pure waters.

Rav Moshe Shapiro
