Speyer

A body discovered near Speyer leads to unfounded accusations. Two carriages carrying Jewish passengers on their way to the city were ambushed by a frenzied mob, resulting in the cold-blooded murder of nine innocent people caught completely unaware.

With the blessing of the local sages, Rabbi Samson's wife, Rebbetzin Miriam of Speyer, was appointed the head of the yeshiva. Having grown up among scholars and learning Torah from her father and husband, she was invaluable and irreplaceable.

One morning, Rabbi Kalonymus found a manuscript on his desk, known back then as a "Kuntres." Flipping through it, he discovered an incredible idea—a commentary on the Talmud! Although unaware of the author, Rabbi Kalonymus began using the Kuntres that very day to teach the Talmud.
