Renowned for his incisive Torah commentaries, the Malbim lived a tragic personal life and achieved his acclaim posthumously. Rabbi Wein tells the little-known story of the Malbim, a story so heart-rending it is almost overlooked in the Jewish world. An inveterate traveler, he railed against the Reform movement, earning him enemies who had him thrown in prison. Yet despite all the injustice he suffered, he is author of the greatest and most beloved Torah commentaries of the 20th century.
