Item Description:

Of all of Rashi's grandchildren, Rabenu Tam is probably the most famous. While Rashi clarified the meaning of Talmud for the Jewish people, Rabenu Tam invented the method by which Jews study it. From the legends surrounding his early childhood to the facts of his capture by the Crusaders, Rabbi Wein portrays the strong-willed Torah giant who led the Jewish people at one of the most precarious points in its history.
