One of the most remarkable leaders of orthodox Jewry in the twentieth century was Rabbi Eleazar Menachem Man Shach (1899-2001), a Lithuanian-born Talmud scholar whose leadership of that community in his latter years could not easily have been predicted.
Rabbi Dunner unlocks the secret to Rabbi Shach’s greatness, evident in a keynote pre-election address he delivered in 1988, and epitomized in his interpretation of an obscure Midrash on Parshat Vayishlach.
