In the Middle Ages, Provence shone as a center of Torah whose scholars were known for their fierce independence and skepticism. Rabbi Wein analyzes the work of three great rabbis of Provence - the Ralbag, the Baal Ha Maor, and the Raavad - and shows how they, in the characteristic style of Provence Jews, posed their challenges to the great Rambam.
