Frankfurt, 1762: The Chassam Sofer was born.
Rabbi Moses Schreiber, aka Sofer, known as the Chassam Sofer, had a tradition. He’d complete Chumash with his pupils, on this day – 7 Tishri – since it was his birthday. In addition to this, he gave each one of them pocket money, to buy themselves some milky danishes.
