Detailed
Description		    Discourses by R. Nathan Zevi b. Moses Finkel (1849–1927) rosh yeshivah and one of the leaders of the Musar movement. He was an outstanding pedagogue and educator, based his ethical system upon the eminence of man. “A soldier,” he said, “who does not aspire to the rank of general is not even a soldier.” He stressed the need for perfection and love of truth and for spirituality in one’s daily life to justify the fact that “everything created was created for the sake of man.” In 1881 he anonymously published Ez Peri, containing essays by R/ Israel Lipkin and R. Isaac Elhanan Spector, with an introduction by R. Israel Meir ha-Kohen, author of the Hafez Hayyim.
