Item Description:

Rabbi Heller tried evading the spotlight in his lifetime, but with his breadth of scholarship in Torah and in secular subjects, he was offered speaking engagements, university posts, and even the possibility of succeeding Rav Kook. History complied with his wish for anonymity – today his name is hardly known. With this authoritative lecture, Rabbi Wein restores Rabbi Heller to the spotlight with the story of his life, a sampling of his works, and a look at the extraordinary following of people who considered him their mentor.
