The work of Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin, the Neziv, ranks
amongst the most widely read rabbinic literature of the nineteenth
century. His breadth of learning, unabashed creativity, and
penchant for walking against the stream of the rabbinic
commentarial establishment has made his commentaries a favorite
amongst rabbinic scholars and scholars of rabbinics alike. Yet, to
date, there has been no comprehensive and systematic attempt to
place his intellectual oeuvre into its historical context - until
now. In the Pillar of Volozhin, Gil Perl traces the influences
which helped mold and shape the Neziv's thinking while also opening
new doors into the world of early nineteenth-century Lithuanian
Torah scholarship, an area heretofore almost completely untouched
by academic research.
