Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin

Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin (20 November 1816 – 10 Agustus 1893), juga dikenal sebagai Reb Hirsch Leib Berlin, dan umum dikenal dengan akronim Netziv, adalah seorang rabbi Ortodoks, dekan Yeshiva Volozhin dan dan penulis sejumlah karya sastra rabbinik di Lithuania.

Keluarga

Berlin lahir di Mir, sekarang Belarus, pada 1816^[1] dalam keluarga cendekiawan Yahudi yang dikenal karena keahliannya dalam bidang Talmudik. Ayahnya, Jacob, meskipun bukan rabbi, adalah cendekiawan Talmudik dari sebuah keluarga rabbinik Jerman. Ibunya adalah keturunan langsung dari Rabbi Meir Eisenstadt. Meskipun beberapa sumber, Berlin awalnya adalah seorang murid yang bodoh. Namun, kebanyakan cendekiawan meyakini bahwa anggapan tersebut palsu.^[2] Legenda menyatakan bahwa ia sendiri belajar setelah melihat orangtuanya berdebat soal apakah ia harus menjalankan perdagangan.
