Not to be confused with his great grandfather,[citation needed] the sainted Rabbi Nathan David Rabinowich of Shidlowce (1814-1865) who established a Hasidic court in 19th-century Poland or his sainted grandfather, Grand Rabbi Nathan David Rabinowitz of Partziwa (1866-1930) (נתן דוד רבינוביץ מפארציווא) who established[citation needed] a Hassidic Court in 20th century Poland.

Rabbi Dr. Nosson Dovid Rabinowich (נתן דוד רבינוביץ Nathan David Rabinowich) is an American scholar of classical and medieval Jewish history[1] and mara d'asra and Dean of Ahavath Torah Institute[citation needed] in Brooklyn, New York. He is a prolific author, see below, and a sought-after lecturer, specializing in both Jewish history and rabbinic literature. He is also a successful businessman and was the owner of one of the most successful Glatt kosher tour companies to Western Europe, Jewish Heritage Tours.

According to the website of Gil Student,[2] Rabbi Rabinowich is a modern advocate of what Berger (1998) calls "the theory of the two Jesuses."[3]

Selected published books

  • 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.[4] Shortly after publication,[5] the book was reprinted (1988) with its title page identifying it as an adaptation from M. Mielziner, along with some small changes,[6] and concurrently, the approbations by Rabbis Ovadia Yosef and Aharon Feldman were removed.[7] 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.[8]
