When the new rav of Brisk, Rav Yosef Dov Ber Soloveichik, known as the Beis HaLevi after his renowned three-volume work of responsa, focused his matchless genius on derash and aggadah, the result was the classic sefer, Beis HaLevi, on Bereishis and part of Shemos. Combining his analytic eye and his awesome mastery of the entire spectrum of Torah sources, Rav Yosef Dov Ber created an essential text of Torah hashkafah. He applies his penetrating analysis to such major topics as the nature of exile and the Jewish people’s acceptance of the Torah.
