Detail Description
Lerner's main talmudic works are his Hadar ha-Karmel (1891), responsa, including some talmudic novellae. His research works, in addition to the above-mentioned Quellen include "Die aeltesten Mischna - Kompositionen" (MWJ, 13 (1886), 1–20) and his magnum opus, Torat ha-Mishnah, dealing with the origin of the oral tradition, of which, however, only the first part appeared (1915). He also showed an active interest in the Jewish settlement of Palestine and in 1905 founded the association Moriah whose aims were "to restore the ancient ruins, and the national and religious culture of the Jews." The association was opposed both to the Mizrachi and the Zionist movements, and in 1930 merged with the Agudat Israel movement.
