I love writing and learning new things in order to better educate those in need. I also enjoy hackathons and adventures around the world.

M. Mielziner's Talmudic Terminology adapted by Rabbi Nosson Dovid Rabinowich
This book was formerly published as Talmudic Terminology, having been plagiarized from Moses Mielziner's Introduction to the Talmud (1894) as was noted in brief by Rabbi Dr. Marc B. Shapiro. Shortly after publication, the book was reprinted (1988) with its title page identifying it as an adaptation from M. Mielziner, along with some small changes, and concurrently, the approbations by Rabbis Ovadia Yosef and Aharon Feldman were removed. In the second edition (revised and expanded, 1996) however, the approbations were reinstated and other changes were made including mention of Mielziner on the inside title page (similar to the reprinted first edition) but no longer on the book's front cover; on the back cover, explicit mention of the book being "an adaptation of one section in Mielziner's book" (i.e., part III); and the omission of chapter 12.
