| Aleppo - City of Scholars By Rabbi
David Sutton
Description:
Based on LiKedoshim Asher Ba'aretz by Hacham David Laniado; Edited
and expanded by Rabbi David Sutton; Translated by Isaac Kirzner
Known since Biblical times as
Aram Soba, the city of Aleppo, Syria was a scholarly and spiritual
center for thousands of years. |
Aleppo - City
of Scholars |
Hated, persecuted, and finally driven out of its ancestral home,
this community still lives on in thriving communities in Israel,
America, Mexico, and worldwide, including the great Yeshivah Porat
Yosef of Jerusalem.
Richly illustrated with hundreds of photos, including views of one
of the oldest synagogues in the world, the vibrant heritage of
Syrian Jewry comes alive in this magnificent history of Aleppo and
its sages. This beautiful volume contains biographical information
on several centuries of rabbis of Aleppo and Damascus - 600 of
them - their ideals and teachings and their beloved pizmonim.
Written by a scion of Aleppo who both cherishes and reveres the
luminous Judaism of this ancient community. |
