This Shiur is an abridged version of the Gadol Hashalom series, it was edited for Sefira. Topics include Kabbalos Hatorah, Bein Adam Lcahveiro, Shalom Bayis, and the death of Rabbi Akiva's Talmidim.\\nDiscussed:

\\n
    \\n
  • R' Chaim Shmulevitz discusses two prerequisites for \\u05e7\\u05d1\\u05dc\\u05ea \\u05d4\\u05ea\\u05d5\\u05e8\\u05d4 and how these two Middos were exemplified by the Talmidim of R' Yehuda Bar Ilai.
  • \\n
  • R' Chaim Shmulevitz examines a few Gemaras in which we see that terrible consequences occur when people hurt others - even unintentionally!
  • \\n
  • The Margolis Hayom explains why the Gemara praises \\u05e8' \\u05d9\\u05d4\\u05d5\\u05d3\\u05d4 \\u05d1\\u05e8 \\u05d0\\u05dc\\u05e2\\u05d0\\u05d9\\u200e for the actions of his Talmidim (that six people shared a Tallis).
  • \\n
  • A close look at the two Gemaras in Shas where it brings the story of R' Akiva as he went off to learn for 24 years and the different lessons that we learn from each of the two Gemaras. Is it possible that the Gemara is implying that R' Akiva is indirectly liable for the death of his 24,000 Talmidim? What changed with Rabbi Akiva's second set of Talmidim that they were worthy to establish Torah?
