I once spent a memorable Shabbos at the home of Rabbi Dr. Shnayer Leiman. His library is legendary, and some of the treasures of the collection are now featured on the website http://www.leimanlibrary.com. An especially valuable resource on this website is a collection of over a hundred articles by Rabbi Dr. Leiman that can be freely downloaded, including such treats as The Adventure of the Maharal of Prague in London. It's a real treasure trove!

Exploring the legacy of the rationalist Rishonim (medieval Torah scholars), and various other notes, by Rabbi Dr. Natan Slifkin, director of The Biblical Museum of Natural History in Beit Shemesh. The views expressed here are those of the author, not the institution.

ReplyDeleteYou know a man by the company he keeps. By that measure, you're an apikorus.
Note to readers. Two exclamation points are equivalent to ;-)
ReplyDeleteRight, ephraim?
What a stupid comment. He wrote 110 articles, all quoted in the complete bibliography, but only about 60 are available to read. It has nothing to do with Natan in any case.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Yonatan. I will make sure that every person whose first or last name starts with an S is off my mailing list!
ReplyDeletePliny's right. Judging from ephraim's comments from previous threads, his comment here is clearly meant to be a joke (and a pretty funny one at that).
