Summary

Is it even possible to measure a specific religious leader’s historical influence on Jewish History? By limiting the discussion to a specific time, place and type of leader, is it easier to find one’s favored candidate and crown them with the distinction as the ‘most influential’ leader? What is historical influence and how is it measured? Are leaders that influential altogether, or is the People and society the greatest influence on history?
