Rabbis and Tzaddikim

Included here are brief biographical sketches of great rabbis and religious scholars - they are many times leading philosophers, doctors and community activists.

These individuals sometimes played important roles in the organization of a Community's daily life. Others were the authors of important works, such as commentaries on the Torah and Talmud, contributors to the great scholarly tradition and the Jewish religious experience, or founders of renowned yeshivot.
These biographies are an integral part of European history-and of the history of ethics, religion and social thought. Many of these individuals maintained strong ties to Poland. The earliest of these biographical sketches reaches back to medieval Spain.
