is my opinion, for what it is worth. If one wants to understand what Yahadus
is really about, then one should study the writings of RSRH. I have met people
who know a great deal of gemara, halacha, etc. but do not have an in depth
understanding of Yahadus. IMO it is because they have not studied RSRH's
Collected Writings, commentary on the Chumash, on Tehillim, etc.
