SUKKAH FIT FOR A RABBI (PODCAST)

In this Sukkot podcast, Rabbi Dunner muses over the curious assertion of an influential eighteenth-century rabbi: “Unless you are an aficionado of Jewish law, the name “Pri Megadim” will mean very little. Nonetheless, it happens to be the title of a very important work authored by Rabbi Joseph Teomim, an eighteenth-century rabbi. Rabbi Teomim came from an extremely distinguished rabbinic family and was a great rabbinic scholar in his own right, although he struggled to make a living as a rabbi. That all changed when he began to publish what would soon become one of the most influential works of Jewish law ever written.”
