Detail Description
The aggadah in the Jerusalem Talmud omitted from the Ein Ya’akov with the commentary of R. Elijah ben Solomon Zalman of Vilna (Vilna Gaon, Gra). The title page states it is those aggadah noty on the Jerusalem Talmud printed in the Yaffe Mareh with many also aggadot not included in the Yaffe Mareh (R. Samuel Yaffe) together with the commentaries of R. Elijah Fulda, ba’al Korban Adehn (R. David Fraenkel), Penei Moshe (R. Moses Margulies), with the commentary on many aggadot and with glosses on Seder Zera’im and tractate Shekalim from the gaon Rabbenu Elijah from Vilna. Approbations follow and then the introduction of R. Noah Hayyim ben Moses, who brought the book to press. The text is in two columns; the Yerushalmi in square type, followed by the commentary in rabbinic type.
R. Elijah ben Solomon Zalman of Vilna (Vilna Gaon, Gra, 1720-97) is a dominant figure in Jewish intellectual thought, his importance and prestige undiminished, as great today, if not greater, than in his own time. The Vilna Gaon’s extraordinary intelligence, expressed by his expertise in Torah at the age of three, outdistancing his tutors while a young child, his incredible proficiency over the entire expanse of the written and Oral Torah by nine, by which time he was already studying Kabbalah, accompanied by complete piety, are attested to by numerous reputable sources. More than seventy works, encompassing Bible, halakhah, Talmud, and Kabbalah, are attributed to the Vilna Gaon.
