Yom
Tov Lipman Heller
Portrait of a Seventeenth-Century Rabbi
Author Information - Listing - Reviews - Contents
Here
is a major rabbinic figure, author of the famed Tosafot yom tov,
whose life spanned several countries and an important transitional period
in the history of European Jewry—a time of social and economic development,
intellectual ferment, wars and pogroms. Davis narrates Heller's life in
its individuality and detail, places him in the context of his time, and
shows his vision of Judaism, of the world around him, and of the events
he lived through.
Joseph Davis is Associate Professor of Jewish Thought, Gratz College, Pennsylvania. He studied at Brown and Harvard universities.
