summary

An outstanding pupil of R. Jonathan Eybeschuetz, Eidlitz appreciated the value of secular sciences, which he considered necessary for both scholars and laymen. In his introduction, he states one cannot derive financial gain from the study of Torah, therefore it is incumbent to gain a livelihood by other means. See EJ, Vol. VI, col. 525.
