    #174: Disputations II - 1263-1414 / Rav Meir Arik 100th Yarzeit
    Sep 29 2025
    25 years after Paris the Talmud was being cross-examined again. This time the Christians intended to prove the truth of their faith from within Judaism ! In 1413, the Jews chose silence as their response but many were pressured into conversion. 100 years ago the world lost a halachic genius; Rav Arik created a generation of rabbis. His numerous students include Rav Meir Shapiro & the Tchebiner Rov, while his rulings influence financial law to this day.

    #173: Disputations I - Paris 1240
    Sep 21 2025
    During the 13th century, Europe was controlled by a militant church, and France was ruled by Louis IX - a bitter enemy of the Jews. All copies of the Talmud were seized and four Baalei Tosfos were interrogated in public. How did Jewry recover from this calamity? Was this tragedy related to the burning of the Rambam’s writings?

    #172: Ramban II - The Church & Eretz Yisrael (feat. Rabbi Dr Akiva Tatz)
    Sep 10 2025
    In 1263 the Ramban was forced to attend a public Disputation and defend the truths of the Talmud against attacks by the Dominicans, who were led by an apostate Jew. The Ramban would be exiled from Spain as a result and settle in Eretz Yisrael where he described with both pride and pain of the state of the Jewish community. Using his medical knowledge, the Ramban also authored a central halachic work on healing and consulting doctors for refuah.
