The Septuagint: The Greek Translation of the Bible
Join Rabbi Chaim Brovender as he discusses the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the bible, and the differing Jewish views on that event. Were the great sages against it? Did they have concerns?
Rabbi Chaim Brovender is the Rosh Yeshiva of WebYeshiva and President of ATID - The Academy for Torah Initiatives and Directions in Jewish Education, in Jerusalem. He was the founding Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Hamivtar and Michlelet Bruria (today, Midreshet Lindenbaum) where he pioneered the teaching of Gemara to students for whom the Talmud had been a closed book.
