The story of Rabbi Moshe IsserlesThe Rema: The Story of Rabbi Moshe Isserles is an eloquent testament to one of the greatest gedolim in the last thousand years of Jewish history, the courageous pioneer codifier whose work remains one of the foundations of the edifice of Halacha. Set against the backdrop of the Poland during the sixteenth century, a veritable Golden Age for the Jews, this biography tells a gripping story of visionary wisdom and uncompromising devotion to the Torah. And it is, indeed, a magnificent story, dominated by a glowing portrait of the Rema as he strives successfully to reach the greatness for which he is destined.This is a book filled with numerous illuminating glimpses and aneCDotes from the life of the Rema, and the author has artfully divided these into two groups-stories drawn from impeccable sources which were integrated into the biography itself and popular but less authoritative stories which appear under the heading "Stories They Told." With its vivid and colorful representation of a bygone era, The Rema is a moving and unforgettable record of a true Torah giant whose life and work continues to enrich all of us to this very day. table{border-collapse:collapse}td{font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px}th{font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px} Code: 9781560620914 Author: Yaakov Dovid Shulman ISBN-10: 1560620919 ISBN-13: 9781560620914 Format: Paperback Pages: 190 Dimensions: 6" x 9" Publisher: CIS Publishers Date: 1/1/1991
