The author, Rebbe Yehudah Aryeh Leib Alter of Ger (Góra Kalwaria; 1847-1905), second Gerrer Rebbe, an outstanding Chassidic rebbe and Jewish leader in his times. Under his leadership, the Ger Chassidut became the largest and most influential Chassidic dynasty in Poland. He was widely known by the name of his books – the Sefat Emet series on the Torah, the Talmud and other topics. The Sefat Emet on the Torah is renowned for its depth and originality, and has become a classic Chassidic commentary on the Torah, well-received even in non-Chassidic communities.
