Description

Rav Yerucham Yehuda Leib Perlman zt"l, commonly
known as the Minsker Gadol, was recognized as a giant in
Torah scholarship in an age of Torah luminaries such as
Rav Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor, Rav Chaim Soloveitchik,
and Rav Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin (Netziv).
Already in his youth, Rav Leib stood out as an iluy, a genius.
Within a relatively short time, he was acknowledged in the
Jewish world as a great leader and posek. After he served as
Rav of Seltz and then Pruzhin, in 1873 he was appointed
to serve as Rav in Minsk, capital of White Russia. Many
of his responsa were published in the sefer Ohr Gadol.
His commentary on the Mishnah was included in the
comprehensive Vilna edition.
This biography, written by his close associate Rav Meir
Halperin before World War I, never appeared in print
until the Hebrew version in 1993; the present edition -
translated by Rabbi Shlomo Slonim, the Minsker Gadol's
great-grandson - is the first to appear in English. It
traces the Gadol's career and his development from early
childhood, and includes fascinating insights on Chassidus,
the Mussar movement, and baskalah.
