Item Description:

Rabbi Yosef Dovid Azoulay, otherwise known as the Chida, was a legendary figure in Jewish history. Born in the 18th Century in Jerusalem, he was an out of the box scholar who possessed a photographic memory. A prolific writer of over 70 to 100 manuscripts – an unbelievable feat given the time that he lived – his genius proceeded him wherever he went. The Chida traveled all over the world and there are many legends of him meeting historical figures. Some of these stories are true and most are just legends. Rabbi Wein paints a vivid picture about the life and times of this remarkable talmid chocham. It is a lecture that will captivate you from beginning to end.
