In this class we look at the life and teachings of Rabbi Chaim ibn Attar, one of the greatest Moroccan-born Rabbis. He wrote Ohr Hachaim on the Chumash, Pri To’ar on Yoreh De’a which are widely used today, as well as commentaries on parts of the Talmud and on parts of the Bible.
He was born and grew up in Morocco, moved to Israel via Italy. But became a favorite of the Polish hasidim (including the Ba’al Shem Tov).
