Nechama Leibowitz Indoor Poster

Description

By Diana Leonie

I was introduced to Nechama  Leibowitz by my Dad, Reuven Ben Yaacov A’H, ( the Yekke’s yekke) as her’s was the Sefer he would read on Shabbat afternoons.

When I came to read her for myself I was overwhelmed. Through her mastery of the commentators – from all times and many streams- she introduced me to so much that was new to me -the breathtaking expansiveness of Torah wisdom.  Nechama Leibowitz stands as a model of an extraordinarily brilliant woman who reached her potential in a field dominated by men. No one ever questions her place at the helm of modern Jewish scholarship.
