Professor Abramson,
Would you please give a citation for Rashi’s writings on the Crusades?
Thank you!
It was fascinating. I still have a question. From where do the Ashkenazi Jews come from? I would really like to hear a lecture about the originated of Ashkenazi Jews
Great interview. I read somewhere that Av Harachamim was composed within 30 years of events.
