Rabbi Akiva is one of the most famous tannaim. His teachings form the core of the mishna.
At the time of his death, as he was being tortured by the Romans, he told his students, “I said to myself: When will the opportunity be afforded me to fulfill this verse? Now that it has been afforded me, shall I not fulfill it?”
In this class we will see how Rabbi Akiva’s entire life was preparing for the moment when he would be able to sanctify Gd’s name.
