Rabbi Josselmann De Rosheim [French]

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.
