Could someone tell me a bit more about Rav Reuven Margolis? I only recently discovered his works, and am really interested as to why its not learnt in the yeshivishe veld? Also, just some more information on him.
Also, about his sefer shem olam, if the gemorrah could not solve who said what, how could he?
What exactly fo you mean by “learnt in yeshivos”? They are very nice and useful but it’s not the kind you sit down to learn. I think the idea of solving the Chad Amars is that each piece was taught separately and not necessarily was the Baal Hamaamar aware of the other Gemara which holds the key. Anyhow out is not a definitive statement saying that now the search had ended. It is ?????? ???? ????????.
As for R’ Margolios, I don’t claim to know that much about his seforim, although I have seen it posited that he utilizes a somewhat academic style. The only one of his seforim that I have ever really used is his commentary on Shulchan Aruch and all I can say about that is that his bekius is astounding. And it has a haskama from R’ Kook, which might answer the original question.
