The Maggid of Melbourne: Names, Language and Clothing

Posted by Levi Cooper on January 12, 2016
Topics: The Maggid of Melbourne

Our sages have said that the Jewish People were redeemed in the merit of not changing their names, their language and their clothing. In this episode of the Maggid of Melbourne Speaks, Rabbi Levi Cooper asks if this is really true?


The Maggid of Melbourne is an ongoing series by Rabbi Dr. Levi Cooper – teacher of Hasidut, community rabbi, lawyer, IDF reservist, father to six and native Australian – in which he shares some short Torah ideas on topics of current interest from his Pardes classroom, his research and from his shul in Zur Hadassa. To the Beit Midrash!
