Dealing with Loss

The Chayei Adam lost his son Mosheh during his own lifetime. As a result, the Chayei Adam named several brief works in his memory

Recently,, R Herschel Schachter spoke at an RCA convention about one Kuntreis - Matzeivat Mosheh on Aveilut.

In addition the Chayei Adam also wrote

• Zichtru Torat Mosheh on Hilchot Shabbat

• Sefer Mitzvas Mosheh, or Kittzur Sefer Hareidim on Mitzvot.

His son's premature death motivated or inspired his father to publish at least 3 works. We can see how the Chayei Adam channeled his own grief by being Marbitz Torah.

Kol Tuv,
RRW
