The Tur
Spectacular Spain '99

As the son of the Rosh, the Tur lived in his father's shadow and did not know success in his lifetime, but in influence on Torah scholarship, his halachic work was a towering masterpiece and the predecessor to the Shulchan Aruch. Rabbi Wein depicts the touching life story of the Tur, weaving together both his halachic and personal writings into a poignant picture of a great yet humble man.
