Maharam Meruttenberg: Captivity, Ransom, and the Jewish Enemy Within
This episode is a recording of part 4 in Rabbi Claman's Great Jewish Books & Thinkers series.
He was one of the greatest poskim of Ashkenaz. His teachings shaped centuries. Yet he died in prison—captured because a fellow Jew turned him in. This is the story of the Maharam Meruttenberg: his captivity, his refusal to be ransomed, and the haunting lesson of betrayal from within our own people.
