Book Synopsis Hakham Tsevi Ashkenazi and the Battlegrounds of the Early Modern Rabbinate by : Yosie Levine
Book excerpt: With the social and cultural upheavals of early modern Europe, rabbis had to fight to preserve Jewish tradition. Hakham Tsevi Ashkenazi, chief rabbi of Amsterdam, emerged as one of the leading halakhic authorities of the epoch, and the battles he waged would come to define rabbinic norms in the decades that followed.
