Rav Moshe Sofer – the Chasam Sofer – was a man of almost unbelievable accomplishments. First and foremost, he was a preeminent Torah scholar whose chiddushim, rulings, and insights have inspired and guided us for generations. Additionally, he was one of the central Jewish figures in the vast Austro-Hungarian Empire. The yeshivah he founded produced generations of influential Torah leaders and talmidei chachamim. He provided strength and direction for Klal Yisrael in a dangerous and turbulent era, with his influence felt to this very day. He was a posek, a teacher, a faithful and tireless leader of his people. Earlier volumes of Chasam Sofer Commentary on the Torah have become welcome “guests” at thousands of Shabbos tables. In this newest volume on Sefer Bamidbar, we again are treated to brief and illuminating chiddushim, culled from all of the Chasam Sofer’s writings and translated into flowing English. These are Torah insights to be savored and shared. They will enrich your Shabbos table and, indeed, your life. |
