Update: 2025-07-16
Description
This episode is a recording of Part 3 in Rabbi Claman's "Great Jewish Books & Thinkers Series.
Rabbi Claman uncovers the life and vision of Rav Kalonymus Kalman Shapira, the Piaseczno Rebbe—known to the world as the Aish Kodesh. In the ashes of the Warsaw Ghetto, he dreamed of a spiritual renaissance that was never allowed to blossom.
What did Rav Shapira hope to build after the war? What kind of inner world did he believe every Jew could access? And what can we still learn from a revolution that never happened?
