Eisik Hirsch white
Eisik Hirsch Weiss ( Isaak or Jizchak Hirsch Weiss etc .; * February 9, 1815 in Groß Meseritsch , Moravia ; † June 1, 1905 in Vienna ) was a Jewish scholar, Talmud researcher (Talmud critic), historian and enlightener, lecturer at the Bet ha- Midrash in Vienna.
life and work
He wrote a fundamental historical-critical history of the rabbinical tradition from Talmud to Shulchan Aruch : dor dor v-dorschaw (for example: gender for gender and its scholars ; five volumes, 1871-1891).
He received his Jewish upbringing in various yeshivots in Moravia, especially in Trebitsch and Eisenstadt , which were already under the influence of the Enlightenment . He lived in Vienna since 1858 and worked there on the Bet ha-Midrash founded by Jellinek together with Meir Friedmann as a lecturer, (re) published important traditional Jewish works and worked on his life's work, which impresses with its precision and enthusiasm in an area the Graetz had neglected in his great historical work. In his own words, it was his goal to "effectively emphasize the majesty of Judaism" .
