Rabbi Dr. David Zvi Hoffman was the head of the Orthodox Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin, a halakhic authority, and a prolific writer of commentary and exegesis on the Talmud and Biblical text. His legacy lives on today even in the most timely and significant of debates, such as in the Jewish thought pertaining to women and halakha, the Jewish approach to Christianity, and the relationship of Judaism and Zionism. On Monday, January 3rd, join me, Emmanuel Bloch, Elli Fischer, Adam Ferziger and others at Bar-Ilan University for a special conference marking a century since the death of this incredible figure -- to study his life, intellectual gifts, and the questions and ideas left to us today.
