Description

Sadly, most of us are living with an elementary school level of Judaism. Many of us do not know what exactly being Jewish means or how Judaism impacts our lives on a daily basis. It is with this in mind that I began to teach others about the beauty and depth of Torah, of G-d’s infinite wisdom.

Here, I share various shiurim and Divrei Torah that I give. My written work can be accessed by visiting https://thoughtsfromkyle.wixsite.com/kzaldin
