Join us at Seudah Shlishit on Shabbat Feb. 17th and 24th for our con-tinuing series . Speaker: Gideon Miller Topic: "You Give Us 20 Minutes, We'll Give You The World.... through the eyes of a really adventurous 18th century Rabbi". The "Chida" (Hayim Yosef David Azulai) travelled through North Africa and Europe seeking funds for the land of Israel, in late 18th cen-tury . He kept a travelogue that records his adventures and visits and serves as a window into Jewish communal life of his time. This unusual literary work, essentially a Rabbinic memoir, also provides a rich appreciation for the inner thoughts of a celebrated figure.
