About the Editor

The Editor

Daniel Levin is a scholar and rabbinic editor, educated in yeshivot and advanced rabbinical academies. For years, he served as a senior lecturer in Jewish studies programs in Moscow. His research and articles, published in Torah journals, focus on foundational questions in medieval Jewish thought—with particular emphasis on the philosophy of Rabbi Hasdai Crescas, the political thought of Don Isaac Abravanel, and the relationship between Halakha and Kabbalah.

In recent years, Levin has dedicated his work to editing and publishing fundamental texts of medieval Jewish philosophy. Within this enterprise, he has edited seminal works that serve as the groundwork for understanding the intellectual world of Rabbi Hasdai Crescas and Spanish-Jewish philosophy, including: Commentary on the Twenty-Five Premises of the Guide of the Perplexed by Muhammad al-Tabrizi, Metaphysical Treatise (Ma’amar Elohi) by Rabbi Moshe ben Yosef Halevi of Seville, and Derekh Emunah by Rabbi Abraham Bibago.

Editorial Approach

The editor’s unique background—bridging profound traditional yeshiva learning with rigorous scholarly research—stands at the core of this publishing project. The objective is to approach medieval Jewish philosophical and theological treatises with the same textual precision and reverence traditionally reserved for Talmudic literature. The vision is to rescue these masterpieces from centuries of corrupted printings, investigate the original manuscript witnesses, and present them to the contemporary reader with utmost accuracy, clarity, and accessibility.
