this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay it's a great surplus to be here on harmonukhais at uh literally one of my favorite places in the whole world the cava of kaimir began as yosef and later the names haim and david were added now it is said we know that literary output was incredible unparalleled lived 83 years he produced 83 safari the hida is most well known for the berkeley safe and the maksik bracha but it's interesting at age 16 he composed his first work which is known as where he answers 150 different questions and the way he answers them is through explaining certain historical inaccuracies and errors that crept into text or a misconception and that's how the hida addressed these questions then at age 18 the hida wrote a pero shamasakta hariya it's called sha'ar yoiseif now at age 18 something very seminal happened in life of the khida namely ibn atar the arakayama kadash moved to yerushalayim from morocco and he became the khida's rebbe and even though the khida only learned from the arahima qatar's for one year the hida considered kadosh his rebbe now what the hida was also very well known for was to be he was a shadar shaddaar means sluchadrabanan he came he traveled from ushalayim for maritz israel and he came to the communities in europe on two different occasions he came in from 1753 to 1758 and he came from 1773 to 1778. on his first trip he visited 148 cities on his second trip he visited 156 cities so the khida is one of the most dynamic and colorful personalities of godale israel in our history and it's been said about safe safe from maranabet yosef from the makhabar until nobody arose like him in cloud israel what's interesting also especially in the times that we're living in now is that one of his most well known uh works shame hakadolem he wrote in quarantine because when he came to italy he had to stay in a lazaretto lazaretto he was in harbor on the boat for 40 days and he did not have access to sarim and in quarantine he was able to accomplish so much so you see even in quarantine it's possible to achieve great accomplishments you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
