In over a thousand lectures throughout his lifetime of teaching, the renowned master ofmussar,Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler offered countless inspiring and original insights into the ethics and philosophy of Torah Judaism. His shiurim were issued posthumously in a series of five Hebrew volumes entitledMichtav MeEliyahu,prepared by Rabbi Aryeh Carmell, one of Rabbi Desslers foremost disciples in England (in collaboration with Rabbi Solomon A. Halpern of London and Rabbi Chaim Friedlander of Bnei Brak).Michtav MeEliyahuhas become a classic of modern Torah thought, widely read and studied.

Rabbi Carmell then went on to render into matchless English selected essays from the Hebrew work, which became a six-part series entitledStrive for Truth!This series which was received with resounding acclaim, introduces us to some of Rabbi Desslers basic ideas and penetrating insights on the confusing, bewildering world around us.

The essays in the first volume of this set and the first half of the second volume, comprising Parts 1, 2 and 3 ofStrive for Truth!, explore and illuminate basic concepts in Judaism such as faith and trust, free will, lovingkindness, the power of theyetzerand repentance.

The second half of the second volume, Part 4 ofStrive for Truth!(originally entitled Sanctuaries in Time), takes the reader on a fascinating spiritual tour of the Festivals, fasts, and Holy Days of the Jewish year.

Educators and students alike will delight in the many inspiring thoughts from one ofmussarsgreat masters.
