#126 - Haskala and Enlightenment - The Vilna Gaon's Response
In this episode we take a closer look at early Jewish reaction to the Enlightenment. We also look at a couple of the places that the Vilna Gaon seems to be referring to one of the key Enlightenment thinkers, Rousseau. We similarly look at a place where the Vilna Gaon clearly refers to the early Maakilim.
