R’ Yaakov Ben Meir, possibly the most influential grandson of Rashi, was a Gadol Hador in his own right. While leading Ashkenazic Jewry, he did so with an entirely different approach than that of his grandfather; focusing more on Gemara, and commenting less on Tanach.
Learning on the Marcos and Adina Katz YUTorah site is sponsored today by the Goldberg and Mernick families to mark the yahrzeit of Samuel M. Goldberg, R’ Shmuel Meir ben R’ Eliyahu HaCohen z”l and anonymously for a zechus for Klal Yisrael - ביחד ננצח!
