Rabbi Avraham Danzig

Rabbi Avraham Danzig was the author of Chayei Adam and Chochmat Adam — two of the most popular Jewish books in Europe at the end of the 18th century. He and his family were miraculously saved when a gunpowder store exploded next door to them — an event that he and his family commemorated every year.

We’ll look at some of his writings, and the influence of Kantian thought on his ideas.
