I cant figure out why he's in the Rock Hall. <br /><br />On the sefer itself, Fred, can you explain how Cohen and others, most notably the Torah Temimmah, dealt with the hundreds or thousands of Talmudic passages cited by Rashi in his commentary? Rashi is considered so basic, it would be redundant to cite something he already quoates. I think the TT has a note about methodology in the beginning somewhere, but dont recall seeing this addressed.DFhttp://www.yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-18551496899728353412012-02-29T18:53:23.869-05:002012-02-29T18:53:23.869-05:00I read it.I read it.S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-61667332552527336952012-02-29T18:12:32.256-05:002012-02-29T18:12:32.256-05:00How on earth did you find this?How on earth did you find this?Mar Gavrielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-28074327938388172552012-02-29T11:03:11.697-05:002012-02-29T11:03:11.697-05:00Leonard says that his grandfather Lyon was a found...Leonard says that his grandfather Lyon was a founder of the Shaar Shomayim.

An Oct 6, 2004 article By Michael Regenstreif in the Canadian Jewish News notes "Growing up, Cohen studied extensively with his grandfather, Rabbi Klintsky-Klein, and was profoundly influenced by him on several levels. He and the rabbi would spend many hours discussing the meaning of a single sentence. Cohen has said he often devotes similar amounts of time, sometimes more, to a turn of phrase in a poem or song." One of Leonard Cohen's many nicknames, in fact, is "Grandson Of The Prince Of Grammarians."DrHGuyhttp://1heckofaguy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-87803713711766433082012-02-28T17:19:45.735-05:002012-02-28T17:19:45.735-05:00I've found many nice things in this Sefer.

My father is a contemporary of Leonard Cohen, and they shared a tent as counsellors at the B'nai Brith summer camp on Lac la Peche in the Gatineau area (north of Ottawa, Canada), in the late 1940s.
