One of these men was Rabbi Tzvi Ashkenazi, the young genius who would one day become known as Chacham Tzvi, the \u003ci\u003egadol hador\u003c\/i\u003e, the greatest rabbi of his generation. The other was Rabbi Amos Strasbourg. Together, they experienced tragedy and mortal danger, and the friendship they formed lasted a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMidnight Intruders\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e follows the parallel trajectories of Chacham Tzvi's stormy life and insidious plots of Nechemiah Chayun, an outspoken disciple of the messianic impostor Shabbesai Tzvi. The story reaches its harrowing climax when the two clash in Amsterdam, resulting in one of the one of the greatest communal uproars in the annals of European Jewry. Neighbor turns against neighbor, friend against friend and brother against brother as the raucous battles spill over from the synagogues into the streets. This fast-moving book features adventure, drama, mystery, conflict and, above all, a riveting and inspiring portrait of one of the greatest rabbis of modern Jewish history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMidnight Intruders\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is an exciting new phase in the ongoing Strasbourg Saga as it presents for the first time a \u003ci\u003egadol\u003c\/i\u003e of such stature.
