Akiva Schlesinger
Edit ProfileCareer
At times, he made very controversial statements regarding such things as political nature of the early kollel systems of dispensing funds to poor Israeli Jews (not to be confused with the more contemporary use of the term kollel, which refers to post-graduate institutions of talmudic study) and the takana d"Rabbeinu Gershom relating to polygamy. Because of this, there was a time when his written works were put under a cherem (ban).
