Rabbi Greenberg shares firsthand accounts of the Novardhok tradition in America, the spiritual struggles and triumphs of its students, and the unique atmosphere of a yeshiva filled with those rebuilding their lives after unimaginable suffering. Together, they explore the pressing question: Did the Mussar movement survive the Holocaust? And if so, how did it evolve in the shadow of such devastation? Tune in for a powerful discussion on faith, perseverance, and the legacy of Mussar in a post-Holocaust world.
