Louis Ginzberg was a Talmudist and leading figure in the Conservative Movement. He was born in Kaunus, Vilna, to a religious family that traced its lineage to the Gaon of Vilna. He came to America in 1899 and began teaching Talmud in 1902 at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, where he remained until his death. He is best known for his commentary on the Talmud Yerushalmi and for his 6-volume collection of aggadic literature, The Legends of the Jews.
