Published: March 4, 2023, 9:34 p.m.

b'Born into a prestigious Frankfurt family in 1762, Rav Moshe Sofer, the Chasam Sofer, would carry the Frankfurt legacy for the rest of his life. His teachers included the local rabbi Rav Pinchas Horowitz, the Haflaah, as well as a stint in Mainz with Rav David Tevli Shayer. But his primary teacher was Rav Nosson Adler. The Chasam Sofer joined his circle of mystics when he was 10-11 years old and remained devoted to him for the rest of his life. When the Frankfurt community opposed Rav Nosson Adler\\u2019s Kabbalistic separatist customs and he was excommunicated, the Chasam Sofer accompanied him into exile. Leaving Frankfurt with Rav Nosson Adler in 1782, the Chasam Sofer was never to return to his hometown.\\nListen to our previous three episodes about the Chasam Sofer:\\nPart 1: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/e/hungarian-royalty-the-chasam-sofer-his-family/\\nPart 2: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/e/chasam-sofer-part-ii-old-traditions-new-message/\\nPart 3: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/e/chasam-sofer-part-iii-a-pressburg-situation/\\n\\xa0\\nFor sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:\\xa0 yehuda@yehudageberer.com\\n\\xa0\\nSubscribe To Our Podcast on:\\xa0\\nPodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/\\nFollow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites\\nYou can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com'
