In Mimini Mikhael, Rabbi Dr. Michael Rosensweig offers a rigorous and insightful treatment of the core concepts and fundamental principles of Yom Kippur, teshuvah, Elul, and the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah. Drawing upon a vast range of sources, the chapters comprehensively analyze the essential halakhic issues and themes that stand at the center of this time period.

Published in partnership with Yeshiva University and the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary as part of the RIETS Hashkafah Series,  Mimini Mikhael highlights the inimitable kedushat ha-yom of Yom Kippur, demonstrates how this heightened sanctity is concretized in specific norms and modes of observance, underscore the pivotal institution of teshuvah, and illuminate the opportunity afforded by Elul and the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah in cultivating a halakhically meaningful life inspired by the experience of “lifnei Hashem.”
