summary

The late 16th-century preacher R. Moses Alfalas was a native of Tetuan, Spanish Morocco. A contemporary of the MaHaRaL of Prague, he too employed philosophical terms in his sermons, while giving them novel meaning. The thirteen chapters of Ho’il Moshe treat the midrashic sayings concerning the giving of the Torah to Israel, followed by seven chapters on the significance of circumcision.
