<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Rav Moshe Sofer (Schreiber) was born in 1763 in Frankfurt. He is generally considered to be the leader of the third strain of Judaism during the enlightenment era. While the [[Neo-Orthodox]] sought to engage the maskilim (enlighteners) and to directly combat them, Sofer adopted the view of ''&quot;Chadash assur min HaTorah&quot;'' - all that is novel (in this case, in religious practice), is forbidden by the Torah. His main work is a collection of his responsa, encompassing several volumes, and he also authored a commentary to the [[Shulchan Aruch]]. His students included his son, known as the Ktav Sofer. He passed away in Pressburg in 1840.</div>
