The work of Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin, the Neziv, ranks amongst the most often read rabbinic literature of the nineteenth century. His breadth of learning, creativity, and penchant for walking against the stream has made his commentaries a favourite amongst rabbinic scholars and scholars of rabbinics alike. Gil Perl traces the influences which helped mold and shape the Neziv's thinking, while also opening new doors into the world of early nineteenth century Lithuanian Torah scholarship.
