A Shabbat Hagadol Sermon, given by R. Haim Brody in The Altneuschul: Prague's Old New Synagogue
Tucked in a Prague edition of the Talmud, tractate Zebachim, I found the notes of Chief Rabbi of Prague Haim Brody, which he wrote in preparation for his Shabbat Hagadol Derasha at the Altneuschul: Prague's Old New Synagogue in the year 1917. A look back in to history to the style and surprising depth of the lectures given to the general population in this community.
