The radical thought of Rabbi Kalonymous Kalmish Shapiro הי"ד
LSJS January – February 2010
From the LSJS website:
You will study select writings of Rabbi Kalonymous Kalmish Shapira, the Piaseczno Rebbe. He was a radical educational theorist, teacher of meditation and a profound student of the psychological horrors of the Holocaust, in which he perished. This course will examine his educational methodology, his programme for building an inspired religious community, and his Holocaust diary, discovered in the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto.

Rabbi of the Golders Green Synagogue in London, rabbinic mentor for University Jewish Chaplaincy, teaching fellow at LSJS, lecturer, writer, rabbinical advisor, trouble-maker, and post-graduate philosophy student.
Curious about anything interesting, but particularly enthusiastic about unusual Torah thinkers, especially 19th- and early 20th-century Polish Chassidic leaders, notably the Rebbes of Przysucha, Kock, Izbica-Radzin and Sochaczew.
Trying hard to juggle being a husband, father, rabbi, teacher, iconoclast and independent thinker. Succeeding some of the time.
