  • S4, E3

    In the October 2023 discussion on Shadal and Ohev Ger, Klein and the host discuss why the facsimile edition of Ohev Ger excluded the introduction. I would suggest (coming out of my doctoral research) that its disappearance reflects Shadal’s change of opinion on the accuracy of his introduction. Through the influence of Shir et al., Shadal later changed his opinion on the origins of Targum Onqelos to a less conservative viewpoint.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Isaac Leeser (1806 - 1868 ) And The Making Of American Judaism (with Prof. Lance Sussman)
Q: How extensive was Leeser's role beyond being a religious leader?
He was a prolific educator and publisher who founded the Occident, worked on translations of the Tanakh and Siddur, helped establish early Jewish education initiatives, and shaped the American Jewish press as a means to educate and unify Jewish communities.
SmallTalk: Understanding Emunah (with Rabbi Daniel Weinstock)
Q: Who is the Sefer meant for?
It is aimed primarily at Baal Taira and those from observant backgrounds who seek deeper understanding and practical articulation of Emunah, rather than solely inspiring stories for general or secular audiences.
SmallTalk: Understanding Emunah (with Rabbi Daniel Weinstock)
Q: What motivated you to write this Emunah-focused Sefer?
The motivation was to provide a practical, inner access to Emunah beyond inspirational stories, presenting a structured approach backed by traditional sources so readers can truly internalize and live their faith.
AuctionChatter: Legacy Judaica (with Rabbi Moshe Maimon)
Q: What makes the Arzarua edition particularly special in this auction catalog?
The Arzarua printed edition represents a historic printing moment for the Safar on a foundational topic in Jewish scholarly tradition, and its journey—from a rare printing in Amsterdam to Jatomir—highlights the complexities of provenance and the collector's value in Judaica.
SmallTalk: Yefeih Einayim on Nach (with Rabbi Dovid Jaffee)
Q: What makes this Sefer unique among other Seforim on Navi?
It integrates Pshat, Halachah, and Hashgafa from the sources in a way that presents a broad spectrum of Mepharshim, from Rishonim to Acharonim, including Chazal and Chassidus, while keeping the material balanced and not overwhelming, and it emphasizes a direct connection to the Mesurah of Torah Shaval Peh through the Navi.
