About Rav Amiel

Rabbi Moshe Avigdor Amiel (1883-1945) was the chief rabbi of Antwerp and later of Tel Aviv, a noted Jewish philosopher, and a leader in the Mizrachi and religious-Zionist movements. He founded many schools and yeshivot (talmudic academies) in both Antwerp and Israel, some of which now carry his name. Among Rav Amiel’s many works are collections of sermons he delivered, a celebrated three-volume book on legal methodology, and essays outlining his perspective on contemporary Judaism.
