| Oct 28, 2013 at 0:12 | comment | added | gt6989b | It would be nice to get a translation, even a loose one... I guess R' Gestetner in the name of the Ari claims that souls of Moshe, Avraham, Dovid and Shlomo were root souls, and all tannaim and amoraim had some aspect of (e.g.) Moshe in them, so they would not name anyone with those names as it was not particular enough to distinguish an individual. | |
