The Great Ones of Israel

The Great Ones of Israel

The men who are greatest in the genealogies of the Jewish people throughout their generations.

(“These matters are not done by outsiders or Gentiles, but only by the great men of Israel.” “And though four entered the Pardes—and although the great men of Israel were there, and they were wise and learned—still, not all had the ability to comprehend and grasp every detail of the Divine work.” “And here is the grave of the Rashba, may his memory be blessed, alongside the graves of other great men of Israel.” “The great men of Israel extended in their holy writings admonitions regarding the bad practices that were prevalent.”)
