Rabbi Yonatan Eybeschutz

Rabbi Yonatan Eybeschutz was one of the most brilliant, senior and controversial rabbis of the 18th century.
The controversy over whether or not he was a closet follower of Shabtai Tzvi divided the rabbinic world and had repercussions for many decades. Yet R’ Yonatan’s books are still studied today in yeshivot.
