Great scholars, strong leaders, sensitive educators: the impact of Rav and Shmuel transcended their own era. Their prestigious schools were in Babylon, but their pupils can be found to this day all over the world. Born in the second century, Rav and Shmuel were known as Amoraim but lived in a period of transition. Ideological adversaries, they rarely agreed on matters of either halacha or aggadah. Yet they showed affection and respect to one another. More generally, were it not for the Talmud, the Jewish people would have lost many more branches during its dispersion. Celebrating the growth of Talmudic learning in Babylonia, the lecture is dedicated to Rabbi Shaul Lieberman, z”l; Prof. Wiesel relates in detail how he first met Rabbi Lieberman, who was to become his teacher for seventeen years (1966-1983).
