In this class, we look at two very influential rabbis who are not very well known today.
Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski, author of “Achiezer,” was considered the leader of Lithuanian Jewry, even though he was younger than many of the other great rabbis of the time. His views and efforts shaped the modern Jewish world in many ways.
Rabbi Yitzchak Schmelkes, author of “Beit Yitzchak,” made rulings on topics such as copyright law, electricity on shabbat and conversion which shaped all future discussion of those topics.
