TREASURES FROM THE RABBI’S LIBRARY – SEASON 3, EPISODE 4

December 17th, 2021

A range of fascinating vignettes from Rabbi Dunner’s collection of Judaica and Hebraica, beginning with a pamphlet about the Tosfos Yomtov by one of the greatest rabbinic scholars of the twentieth century, followed by information about a controversial Bnei Brak rabbi and a forged letter that was publicized that criticized him for a controversial halakhic ruling.
