Jewish History Uncensored


Jan 14, 2026

In this episode, we look at the basic challenge due to the biography of  R Menashe written by Mordechai Plungian. How much credence should one give to the Plungian biography? What was R Matisyahu Shtrason’s reaction? Why is this so significant? What basic rule can we learn about the Vilna Gaon’s approach to learning that will shed light on this issue?

Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.
