Hear Your Call - Volume 2 - Fire up your passion for growth

Hear Your Call, now in its second volume, gathers the weekly divrei Torah Rabbi Yosy Munk delivered every Friday to his talmidim in Beis Medrash Mayan HaTorah in Lakewood. These pieces are brief, clear, and grounded in classic sources and real encounters—written to be shared at the Shabbos table or reviewed in a few minutes during the week.

Shaped through personal conversations with bachurim, each vort carries the voice of real questions and real growth. The tone is practical, never preachy—focused on connection rather than complexity. This sefer bridges the parashah and everyday life, helping readers hear their own call within the words of Torah.

“The divrei Torah are full of yiras Shamayim and hashkafas haTorah…b’ezras Hashem it will be a big benefit to all of Klal Yisrael.”
 Harav Simcha Bunim Cohen, shlita, Rav, Kahal Ateres Yeshaya

 “This sefer is a testimony to Rabbi Munk’s ability to convey such important lessons in such simplistic ways.”
Harav Avrohom Mordechai Newman, shlita, Rosh Yeshiva, Mayan Hatorah, Lakewood

 “Pearls of wisdom and amazing chiddushim that speak about lofty matters.”
Harav Chaim Zvi Senter, shlita, Rosh Yeshiva, Aderes HaTorah Yerushalayim

 “Real life experiences to open the mind and heart of the reader. Short, sweet, and to the point…a worthwhile investment of one’s time.”
Rav Gavriel Friedman, shlita, Senior lecturer, Aish HaTorah Jerusalem

About the author:
Rabbi Yosy Munk grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and learned in Yeshiva and Mesivta Torah Temimah. During his beis midrash years, he continued his learning by HaRav Meir Stern, shlita, and developed a close relationship with Rav Mordechai Schwab, zt”l, the Mashgiach of the Passaic yeshiva. He also learned in Yeshivas Bais Hatalmud in Bensonhurst and heard shmuzen from Rav Shlomo Brevda, zt”l. Together with his wife, the daughter of Rav Moshe Possick, shlita, from Torah Umesorah, Rabbi Munk moved to Lakewood, NJ, and he learned in Beth Medrash Govoha for eighteen years. He joined Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Newman, shlita, in Yeshiva Mayan Hatorah, where he serves as a sho’el u’meishiv and has had the opportunity to develop a strong connection with the bachurim and grow together with them. Rabbi Munk has been sharing divrei Torah with the students every Friday for the last twelve years.

Rabbi Munk is a grandson of Rav Eliyahu Munk, zt”l, who was a Rav in Paris and wrote many sefarim, including the classic English commentary on the siddur, World of Prayer, and Kol HaTorah on Chumash. His grandfather was a tremendous inspiration for him.
