Alexander Hool

Rabbi Alexander Hool grew up under the tutelage of his father, Rabbi Maurice Hool of Kingsbury, London, UK. He learned in Gateshead Yeshivah for many years under the direction of the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Avrohom Gurwitz, and then moved to Israel where he has been studying, in Ponevezh Yeshivah and Kollel, for over twenty years. We talk about how Ponevezh has helped him in his journey of challenging secular sources on Jewish history.

An eminent scholar, he has developed particular expertise in history, dating, mathematics, and other unique and intriguing subjects. He is the author of the acclaimed work Toras Yom VoLaylah (on the complex Halachic definitions of day, twilight, and night and their ramifications) and has published a fundamental study on ancient astronomy and its implications regarding the Halachic Dateline, as well as an analysis of the Murex Trunculus as a possible source of the ancient blue dye techelet. His most recent publication is a comprehensive investigation of the classification and calibration of measures and distances used in the Middle East before the Common Era (entitled Shiur HaShiurim).

Rabbi Hol has written three books to date:

1. "The challenge of Jewish History: The Bible, The Greeks, And The Missing 168 Years"
2. "Searching for Sinai: The Location of Revelation".
3. "Pharaoh: Biblical History, Egypt, And the Missing Millennium"
