Actually this edition has no connection whatsoever to any Prague edition! Book was printed
by a Polish printer. According to pagination
and other signs this book suits the bibliographic registration of the tenth volume of the
1821 Cracow edition which was printed in two
different versions - one with registration of
place and time of printing and printer's name,
and the other with forged title pages (perhaps
for avoiding censorship or taxes) bearing various dates and places of printing. Both versions
are very rare and were registered from copies
of Hebrew University and Bar Ilan University.

79. Sidur Ha-Rashash - Copy of

Admor Rabbi Yoel of Satmar and

the Gaon Rama Freind
Sidur Tefilah Le-Ha-Rav Ha-Kadosh Rabbi
Shalom Shar'abi, Sidur Kavanot Ha-Kabbalah
according to writings of Ha-Ari and Rabbi
Hayim Vital. 9 parts. Jerusalem 1916,
Zuckerman printing.
In beginning and end of the book are dedications by "Nahum Mordechai Ben Kreincha" to
"the Holy Admor of Satmar now in New York".
Various stamps of previous owners and ownership inscriptions. Two different stamps of Rabbi
Moshe Aryeh Freind from different periods.
Sidur Ha-Rashash existed for many years only
in manuscript, and only in 1916 it was decided
by the great Kabalists in Jerusalem and abroad
to print it in sanctity and purity by G-d fearing
men sanctifying themselves by fasts and immersions during printing. The Sidur was printed on
quality paper in a small number of copies and
in 9 parts. (It is rare to find a complete set not
composed of parts from various sources).
One of the copies found its way to Rabbi
Yehiel Rosenberg of Sighet, who was close to
the "Kedushat Yom Tov". After his demise the
Holy Sidur passed to his brother Rabbi Alter
Rosenberg, who writes he received the Sidur
from his sister in law, and he sold it to Rabbi
Yisrael Weiss "Ha-Otzar" and a bookseller in
Sighet.
The Hassidic Rabbi Nahum Mordechai Spitzer
purchased the Holy Sidur and when he arrived
in the US gave ther Sidur as a present to his
Admor Rabbi Yoel of Satmar who used it a lot
and was thankful to Rabbi Nahum Mordechai
for it.
Later the Holy Sidur passed to his faithful disciple Rabbi Aryeh Moshe Freind, head of the
Satmar Yeshivah and head of the Badatz HaEdah Ha-Haredit in Jerusalem who was later
appointed chief Rabbi of the Edah Ha-Haredit

in Jerusalem.
The Holy Gaon Kabalistic Rabbi Yoel
Teitelbaum (1887-1979) son of the Holy Gaon
Rabbi Hananyah Yomtov Lipa, Av Bein Din
Sighet, author of "Kedushat Yomtov", son of
Rabbi Yekutiel Yehudah, Av Beit Din Sighet
and author of "Yitav Lev" and offspring of
Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, author of "Yismach
Moshe".
Known from early age for his sharpness and
genius, as well as his sanctity and purity.
Following his marriage to the daughter of
Admor Rabbi Avraham Hayim Horowitz,
Rabbi of Polantsh, he moved to Satmar where
he taught Torah and and Hassidism to a chosen
group of disciples and Hassidim. Held position as Rabbi in Orshiva, Kroli (from 1925)
and Satmar (from 1935). In all these places he
was head of a large Yeshivah and a large flock
of disciples. Was head of the extreme orthodox
Jewry. During the Holocaust he was saved
in Dr. Kastner's famous "Rescue Train", and
through Bergen Belsen and Eretz Israel arrived
in the US, where he founded the world's largest Hassidic dynasty. Was a strong opposer of
Zionism and the establishment of the State of
Israel. Gave many Halachic responses and from
his writings dozens of books were published:
"Va-Yoel Moshe", Divrei Moshe" responsa, the
"Divrei Yoel" on the Torah and many others.
The Satmar Hassidic dynasty is to this day the
most dominant in the US in charity.

90. Exumonia - Money Substitute

- Sugar Lump

Thin cardboard card "Good for a regular lump

of sugar".
On verso of card is a stamp of "Neturei Karta"
and serial number.
With the establishment of the State of Israel and
the start of use of Bank of Israel's banknotes
it was forbidden by law to print alternative
banknotes, but it was acceptable to print "means
of payment". These were used mainly in grocery
stores in Jerusalem and in Kibbutzim for distribution of products such as sugar, bread and ice
for those who did not use cash.
Neturei Karta, who wished to boycott "Zionist"
money, used this exception in the law to print
this card, that was used as money in the community and was equivalent to one Lira (and was
not at all used for sugar distribution!).
6x7 cm. Very good conditiom, slight staining.

126. Three Chabad Books - Fayid,

Suez Canal, 1974

Three books printed by Chabad Hassidim in

Fayid, on the western bank of the Suez Canal
during the Yom Kipur War.
1. Likutei Amarim - Tania, 78th edition, 444
pages.
2. Sidur Tefilat Hashem, Ar"i version, 22nd edition, 476 pages.
3. Tehilim - Ohel Yosef Yitzhak, including a
letter collection of the Raya"tz, 28th edition, 700
pages.
This is a complete set of all three books printed
by Chabad in Fayid. Printing took place during
the war, when IDF soldiers were already on the
western side of the Suez Canal, and Egyptian
forces were still on its eastern side. Printing took
place following the Rebbe's instruction to help
the soldiers by printing these books in "Eretz
Goshen". A van was launched, with printing
equipment, printers and a few Chabad prominent figures, among them the Rebbe's secretary
Rabbi Nisan Mindel who was in Israel at the
time. Printing took place in the Egyptian army
base at Fayid, which was conquered by the IDF,
after Arik Sharon gave his approvement, and
was executed in spite of great technical difficulties. Upon its completion the Chabad hassidim
burst into dancing with the soldiers and Rabbi
Mindel gave them a lesson in the Tania book.
All books are in excellent condition, leather bindings with name of book in gilded letters.

served as Rabbi in Slavita around 1792, but
since he did not want to make a living of it he
established his well known printing house in
Slavita, and in this way could hold his position
without receiving benefits from it.
(It has been written that Rabbi Moshe's acceptance of Rabbinate and the establishment of
the printing house were initiated by his father
Rabbi Pinhas of Koretz but this document
refutes this, as it mentions the appointment of
Rabbi Moshe, son of "our teacher Rabbi Pinhas
May His Soul Rest In Peace In Heaven").
This letter also contains a hint to the refusal of
Rabbi Moshe to accept position of Admor, as it
reads "Hashem will give him the honor of being
counted with the Tzadikkim and Hassidim".
Rabbi Moshe managed the printing house
until the mid 1820s and then passed it on to his
sons Rabbi Shmuel Avraham Aba (1787-1864)
and Rabbi Pinhas (1790-1872). In this printing
house the first edition of the Tania was printed
75 | ,

by the old Admor of Liadi, (The Ba'al Ha-Tania

regarded this as a gesture of thanksgiving to
Rabbi Pinhas of Koretz, for drawing him close
to Rabbi Ha-Magid of Mezritch - see enclosed
materials), and also many Kabbalah, Musar and
Hassidut books, prayer books, Chumashim and
Mahzorim, Sha"s, Talmud Bavli, Arba'ah Turim
and Shulchan Aruch and more.
Books printed in the Slavita printing house are
sought after to this very day by the pure-minded
for the sanctity of the books and especially their
carefulness in the holy work done in purity and
for the sake of Mitzvah, from the casting of the
letters (done with the letters the Admor Rabbi
Moshe casted with his own hands), the precise
proofreading, the printing done in sanctity and
purity, and the binding.
Over the years, when Rabbi Moshe became
rich, he casted silver letters instead of the lead
ones, for the sake of Mitzvah and for the better
printing quality achieved by these letters, and
all in honor of the Holy Torah.
After the Slavita Libel case, (between 18351838), which developed into a libel claiming
the books were printed without proper censorship licenses, the authorities closed down the
printing house and tens of thousands of copies
of books printed in Slavita were burned (this is
one of the reasons for the rarity of the books
printed at the great printing house in Slavita
- see enclosed materials), and Rabbi Shmuel
Aba and Rabbi Pinhas were exiled to Siberia in
1838.
Their old father Rabbi Moshe died of broken
heart on 9th of Kislev 1838 (some claim it was in
1840 - see additional materials). Rabbi Shmuel
Aba and Rabbi Pinhas returned from Siberia in
1856, and Rabbi Shmuel Aba became Admor
until his demise in 1864.
The Shapira printing house was later re-established in Zhitomir in 1847 by Rabbi Moshe's
grandchildren - Rabbi Hanina Lipa and Rabbi
Yehoshua Heshel Shapira and was active until

Louis after 1917, Moinester print].
Deals with the Bible and Shas, Customs and
matters concerning the population of Eretz
Israel, compilations of ideas, proverbs and tales.

in Jerusalem ceased and was finished at the
Moineshter printing house in Saint Louis,
Missouri in the US".
214, [2] pages. 23 cm. Excellent condition.
Original cardboard binding with cloth spine,

No bibliographic registration records the continuation of printing in Buffalo NY, and book

missing end. Shape of letters from page 137 on is
somewhat different than that of previous pages.
[Title page might have also been reprinted in
the US].
Printing in the US was probably done between
1917-1919, as WWI fighting started in Palestine

dated 1917.

Printing.
The author concealed his name, but the approbation by the Rabbis of Prague (the Noda
Bi-Yehuda and his rabbinical court) reveals
that he is the Ga'on Rabbi Yona Landsofer. The
reason for the anonymity is mentioned in the
authors introduction. He writes that many ignorant writers publish books with their names
on them, and so he agrees his writings will be
published only if his name will not be mentioned. At the end of the book is a pamphlet
of "Selections from the Books of Euclid with
illustrations and geometrical sketches.

"

Manuscript by Rabbi Elazar

Landa of Slonim, grandson of the
Vilna Gaon

"Seder Nesi'ati Le-Eretz Ha-Kodesh" an interesting journal written by Rabbi Elazar Landa
of Slonim, grandson of the Vilna Gaon, after
he arrived in the Holy Land. Jerusalem, 1868.
Written in his handwriting; part of a letter.
This letter reveals aspects of Jerusalem of those
days, most of which are unknown from other
sources, and offers a rare view of the history of
Jerusalem.
Rabbi Landa describes his arrival in Jerusalem,
and tearing his garments at the sight of the
Temple Mount and the holy sites lying in ruins.
"I was greeted by the important people of
Jerusalem such as Rabbi Shmuel Salant, Rabbi
Aharon Moshe of Slonim, Rabbi Meir Lutziner
of Minsk and Rabbi Daniel of Horodna, and
Rabbi Yoshe Buneh of Slonim".
He tells about his findings in Jerusalem; that he
visited the "Menahem Zion" synagogue, where
the customs of the Vilna Ga'on were followed,
and where he started to give a regular Torah
class; about the constant prayers at the Western
Wall ("like in Vilna, where there are people
praying all day, and G-d's Name is sanctified
every moment"); he also describes the journey
and the ports of entry to Eretz Israel, about the
Turkish bath, the mikveh, and the archeological findings in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Elazar Landa (1818-1874) was the son of
Rabbi Ya'akov Moshe of Slonim (1780-1849),
son of Rabbi Avraham, son of the Vilna Ga'on.
The name Landa comes from his mother's
family. He was involved in printing the writings of the Vilna Ga'on. He came to Eretz Israel
in 1868 and arrived in Jerusalem before Rosh
Hashana (as told in the letter). He remarried in
Jerusalem, his son, Rabbi Eliyahu Landa was

The argument is on whether to keep the old
method which was used in Syria of studying the
Torah and its cantillations by way of repetition,
or use a new method of studying through understanding, and teaching Hebrew in Hebrew,
as taught in the Sefaradi Talmud Torahs in
Jerusalem, that belong to Agudat Israel, and by
the teachers sent from Jerusalem.

226

The senders also attached to their letter a copy

of a poignant letter by Rabbi Shaul David
Sithon, Chief Rabbi of Buenos Aires, in which
he states he disapproves of changing the teaching method.
4 leaves typewritten on carbon paper. 28.5 cm.
Fair condition. Thin paper with moth damage, loss
and tears to margins, professionally restored.
Rabbi Shaul David Sithon, author of Responsa
"Dvar Shaul" (Jerusalem, 1929). Born 1851 in
Aram Tzova. Arrived in Argentina in 1912.
Passed away 1930. His conservative attitudes
and rulings forbidding conversion to Judaism
in Argentina and avoiding accepting any converts to the community kept the Allepo congregation from the assimilation which affected all
other Jewish communities in Argentina.

materials.

Ha-Tchelet", son of the Admor Rabbi Ya'akov
of Izbitza. Warsaw, 1888. Hayim Kelter print.
First edition.
The Tchelet Polemic which shook the Rabbinical
world started when Rabbi Gershon Hanoch
published in 1887 an article named "
"in which he announced he had found the
snail used for dyeing the "Tchelet" and from now
on all Jews must fulfill the Mitzvah of "Tchelet"
in the Tsitsit. This article caused a harsh polemic
in the Rabbinical world. Many Rabbis expressed
their objections in writing. Some of them doubted the identification snail he had found, while
others argued "We do not have the authority to
renew the Tchelet Mitzvah". Heading the objection were the greatest Rabbis of his time - Rabbi
Yitzhak Elchanan of Kovno, Rabbi Yehoshua of
Kutna and the "Beit Ha-Levi". In 1888 Rabbi
Gershon Hanoch published a second article on
the matter, entitled "Ptil Tchelet", in which he
argues with great proficiency with those who
doubted the identification of the snail he found,
and with those who objected to the renewal of
the Tchelet Mitzvah for halachic reasons. This
second article neither convince many of his opponents. Rabbi Gershon Hanoch pregared for
print a third article entitled "Ein Ha-Tchelet",
which was published in 1892, after his demise
in 1891.

- .279

Neta Sha'ashu'im Responsa on the four parts

of the Shulchan Aruch. By Rabbi Zvi Hirsh
[Kara] Rabbi of Buczacz. Published by his
son Rabbi Yechiel. Zholkiev, 1829. Meir Ze'ev
Hoffer Print.
On title-page there is an inscription in old
handwriting: "My uncle requested of me to send
this book to the great Rabbi Pesach, dayan in
the Cosantin community, and he should send it
to the holy Rabbi of Kaminka". Leaf 22 b has a
(cut) gloss in the same handwriting.
It is unclear whether the writer is the son Rabbi
Yechiel, who published the book, or the son-inlaw the Rabbi of Buczacz, who was close to the
Rabbi of Kaminka, or a different author.
Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Kara, Av Beit Din in Buczacz
and one of the outstanding scholars of his generation (174-1814, Otzar Ha-Rabbanim 17447)
was the father-in-law of Admor Avraham David
Wahrman, Rabbi of Buczacz, who wrote Birkat
David, Eshel Avraham, and Da'at Kdoshim, and
many of his father-in-law's novellae are quoted
in his works.
"The holy Rabbi of Kaminka" was probably
Rabbi Shmuel Ben Rabbi David of Kaminka the
First (Disciple of the Ba'al Shem Tov, d. 1831,
Otzar Ha-Rabbanim 19731). However it could
also be Rabbi Shmuel, grandson of Rabbi Zvi
of Kaminka (disciple of Rabbi Levi Yitzhak of
Berdichev and the Rav of Apta), who died in
1803.

368. Letter - Rabbi Moshe Zakut

Bill regarding financial matters of the Mantova community, signed by
Rabbi Yitzhak Arobash and Rabbi Yosef Shalit Rikiti. At the end of the
bill there is a confirmation letter from the Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Zakut
(Reme"z) in whose presence the bill makers have signed. Mantova, 1674.
Rabbi Yitzhak Arobash, a Moroccan sage, published in Italy his books
"Zivchei Tzedek" (Venice, 1662) and "Emet Ve-Emunah" (Venice, 1672).
Both books have poems praising the book and the author by Rabbi Moshe
Zakut.
Rabbi Yosef Shalit Rikiti, born in Mantova and lived in Safed. Was emissary of Safed in Italy between 1674-1676. In "Igrot Ha-Reme"z" there
is a recommendation of him as emissary. Printed in Mantova in 1676
"Hochmat Ha-Mishkan". See enclosed materials.
Ha-Reme"z - Rabbi Moshe Zakut (1612-1698, Otzar Ha-Rabanim 14676),
Gaon and Kabbalist. Born in Amsterdam and studied with Rabbi Shaul
Morteira. Studied in Poland with Rabbi Yitzhak of Pozna, and Rabbi
Elchanan of Vilna. His main knowledge in "Kabbalah he acquired from
Kabbalist Rabbi Binyamin Ha-Levi, disciple of Ha-Ari.
The Hid"a writes that the Reme"z had a Maggid from heaven, and Ha-Rav
Gur Aryeh of Mantova testified he heard the angel speak through him.
Served as Rabbi in Venice with Rabbi Azariah Pigo. From 1673 Rabbi in
Mantova. Until his demise in Sukkot 1697 - birth year of the Ba'al Shem
Tov. Wrote many books, many Piyutim and set the order of many prayers
and Tikunim according to the Kabbalah which are used to this day. See
more about him in the enclosed material.
The bill and testimony are in Italian writing. The testimony and signature of Rabbi Moshe Zakut are in Oriental Rashi writing. Inscription in
Italian writing on verso.
It is very rare to find Rabbi Moshe Zakut's handwriting. (On many of the
Reme"z manuscripts there are doubts if they are in his own handwriting
or a copy. This letter can clarify these questions).
2 written pages, a blank page and inscription on verso. 30 cm. Good condition, wear to margins. Small tear to center of the page. Slight staining.
folding lines. Tears in folding lines of blank page.

A letter from Rabbi Yitzhak Meltzan of Kelm

and Jerusalem, sent to Rabbi Shraga Meir
Lazarovitz, who was born in Kelm and served as
Rabbi in London and Jerusalem (in the 1910s).
An interesting letter concerning distribution of
charity funds under the auspices of Rabbi Zvi
Pesach Frank of Jerusalem. In the letter, Rabbi
Meltzan also writes about the time of the final
redemption, and about the very idea of trying
to predict the time of the redemption.
Rabbi Yitzhak Meltzan (1854-1916, Otzar HaRabbanim 10821) was born in Slutzk, to his
father Rabbi Shmuel, who wrote the book "Even
Shlema", which contains teachings of the Vilna
Gaon. He himself was a great scholar, proficient
in all parts of the Torah. He was a disciple of
Rabbi Yisrael of Salant, who once remarked that
"when Reb Yitzhak is present, written volumes of
the Talmud are unnecessary" In 1891, Rabbbi
Yitzhak was appointed as Rabbinic Judge in
the city Kelm. He also served as Talmudic instructor in the Radin Yeshivah. He transcribed
both written and hidden teachings of the Vilna
Gaon, and was involved in bringing Kabbalistic
works, as well as one of the Vilna Gaon's works
(Imrei No'am) to print, together with Rabbi A.
L. Lipkin, Rabbi of Kratinga, and with Rabbi S.
M. Leizerovitz.
In 1906, he moved to Jerusalem. He authored
works of halachah and Jewish ethics: "Siddur
Ha-Gra Ishei Yisrael", "Azharat Shabbat",
"Shvitat Ha-Shabbat", "Si'ah Yitzhak" and
more. See more about him in the book Tnu'at
Ha-Musar, Part 2, pages 311-318.

457. Zera Yitzhak - Toldot Avraham

Manuscript by Yitzhak Ha-Levi of Lemgo, author of "Toldot Yitzhak" and
manuscript of his disciple Rabbi Avraham Prinz of Amsterdam
An antique and unknown volume, including important manuscripts from
the sages of Amsterdam in the 18th century.
1. Hidushei Shas, Hidushei Sugiyot, homilies in Halachah and Agadah:
for Siyumim, for Ma'alat Ha-Torah Ve-Ha Shalom, for the festivals and eulogies. By Rabbi Yitzhak Itzk Ha-Levi of Lemgo, a prominent Amsterdam
sage and Av Beit Din Groningen. Amsterdam [circa 1790].
On page 82b, there is mention of "Admor Ha-Gaon" [Perhaps referring
to Rabbi Shaul Av Beit Din Amsterdam, or his son and successor Rabbi
Ya'akov Moshe Lowenstam].
[1] 88 leaves, [1 index leaf]. Written by Rabbi Yitzhak of Lemgo himself.
2. Torah novellae and homilies, Family and community memoirs, lists
of circumcised babies, memoirs and copyings of documents and letters
regarding Eretz Israel, articles regarding his Rabbi - Rabbi Yitzhak of
Lemgo, last wills and eulogies. Handwritten by the "Tzadik Rabbi", Rabbi
Avraham Prinz of Amsterdam (1768-1851), a leading supporter of the
community and establisher of the Pkua"m organization (an important organization which gathered funds raised for Eretz Israel all around Europe,
and was located in Amsterdam), a chief supervisor on all matters concerning Eretz Israel. [1810-1849].
147 pages handwritten by Rabbi Avraham Prinz (some of the signatures on
the document copyings might be original).
Rabbi Yitzhak Itzk (Sega"l) Ha-Levi of Lemgo (1748-1801) a prominent
sage of the "Beit Misrash Etz Ha-Hayim" of the Ashkenazi community in
Amsterdam, disciple of Rabbi Shaul of Amsterdam, and a close friend of
his son Rabbi Ya'akov Moshe. Served as Rosh Yeshivah. In 1800 moved
to serve as Av Beit Din in Groningen. His manuscript archive has been
through many vicissitudes, and many books and articles have been written on the subject. His great work "Toldot Yitzhak", commentary on the
Tosefta, which his disciple Rabbi Avraham Prinz (who succeeded him as
Rosh Yeshivah) added a sample of it to the "Likutei Zvi" book, Amsterdam,
1809 (see item 65), disappeared and was revealed again only in several
auctions, in the Friedrich Muller auction house in Amsterdam in 1870,
item 944, in three folio size volumes, carrying around 1600 leaves. In 1881
the same manuscript was offered for auction again on another auction
house. In 1900 the same manuscript reached the "Rosenthaliana" library
in Amsterdam.
In 1965 Joseph Onderwyser published a book called Mavoch in which he
describes in a very picturesque [and odd] manner his quest all around
the world for the manuscript of the great work on the Tosefta, finding it

in an inner list of the "Rosenthaliana" library in Amsterdam. This book

raised a polemic in the press. Eventually, following the polemic a team of
editors started publishing the book. So far one volume has been published,
on Megilah Tractate, Jerusalem, 2002, by Machon Ofek, At the beginning
of the book there is a long article on the biography of the author and his
period in the Amsterdam Beit Midrash.
With this manuscript we discover the beginning of this affair. On page 76
in the notebook of Rabbi Avraham Prinz, in which he tells of his purchase
of the manuscript, in the sale of the estate of Rabbi Yitzhak Ben Mordechai
of Lemgo, Nephew of Rabbi Yitzhak. He writes about the binding of the
book in three volumes, and on the fact he has not the financial abilities
to publish the book. In page 86, written at a later time, he tells again that
after he realized he can not publish the book he bound it in three volumes
so the family members can contemplate on it. (It seems he returned all
three volumes to the family of Rabbi Yitzhak of Lemgo).
The booklet handwritten by Rabbi Yitzhak of Lemgo is unknown whatsoever, and it is a discovery in its own. Rabbi Avraham Prinz writes about it
in page 86, and about further letters "bound in with this volume". (it seems
this volume was not offered in the same 19th century auctions in which the
other three volumes by Rabbi Yitzhak of Lemgo were offered.).
In addition, in the diary of memoirs and homilies of Rabbi Avraham
Prinz we find new details on the biography of his teacher Rabbi Yitzhak
of Lemgo, who taught him the Torah and raised him in his home after he
was orphaned.
The memoir diary of Rabbi Avraham Prinz has great importance, as it
reveals unknown details from the history of the Ashkenazi community in
Amsterdam in the late 18th century and early 19th century. Details on the
establishment of the Pkua"m organization, which started with an inheritance of which one third was dedicated to the poor people of Eretz Israel
and Rabbi Avraham, along with Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Lehrn were involved in
collection of the inheritance from the heirs who wanted to prevent the will
of their father from being executed. These funds enabled the establish-

ment of the Pkua"m. (pages 81-82).

The copying of the Pkua"m documents in this lot is also unknown, as the
book containing the missives of the Pkua"m, published in Jerusalem 1965,
contained only the missives sent from Amsterdam to Jerusalem, and here
we have copies of the missives sent from Jerusalem to Amsterdam. This
material has not yet been examined properly, but we can give here a little
of the content of the letters: Letters signed by Rabbi Tuviah Ben Rabbi
Shlomo, Rabbi Natan Nate ben Rabbi Menachem Mendel, Rabbi Ahraham
Shlomo Zalman Shapira (Tsoref) and his son in law Rabbi Aryeh Ben
Rabbi Yerachmiel, treasurer and trustee. Letter from the Rabbis of Hebron,
Tiberias and Jerusalem. A letter from Livorno with a copy of a missive by
Rabbi Yisrael of Shklov, disciple of Hagr"a to Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Tsoref
regarding the mission for locating the ten lost tribes (this letter is a new
discovery in this affair - see article of Dr. Aryeh Morgenstern, Sinai, 100,
pages 552-554).
Rabbi Avraham Prinz wrote along the years in this volume Divrei Torah
and Musar, eulogies for his offsprngs who died in his lifetime, last wills he
wrote in the age of 60 and 64. In page 86 he wrote that in 1838 he reached
the age of 70, and in a last will from 1849 he hints he is 80 (page 119), so
we have information regarding his birth year being 1768 or 1769. Rabbi
Avraham Prinz passed away in 1851.
Binding has inscription in gilded letters "Zera Yitzhak - Toldot Avraham",
apparently the volume was bound in the early 1830s.
Altogether around 200 leaves (some of them blank). 19.5 cm. Thick quality
paper, very good condition. Original leather binding with gilded inscription
and ornaments, in very good condition. Slight restoration of tear on spine.
Book plate.
Enclosed materials regarding Rabbi Yitzhak, Rabbi Avraham, their manuscripts and the importance of the revelations in this manuscript.

463. Novellae by Rabbi Avraham

Tiktinsky, Dean of Mir Yeshivah

Novellae on Tractate Gittin, by Rabbi Avraham

Tiktinsky, dean of Mir Yeshivah. Written
before 1899.
The heading "Talmud Novellae Gittin" appears in Hebrew on top of all pages; these leaves
are probably remainders of a full volume of his
novellae. On leaves 129-130, he cites correspondence on these issues with his father, Rabbi
Hayim Yehudah Leib, dean in Mir Yeshivah.
Rabbi Hayim Leib Tiktinsky (1824-1899, Otzar
Ha-Rabanim 6454) was among Lithuania's
foremost scholars, who served as dean of Mir
Yeshivah for nearly fifty years (1850-1899).
Youngest son of Yeshivah's founder, Rabbi
Shmuel Tiktinsky. See about him in Toldot
Ha-Ga'on Rabbi Hayim Yehudah Leib (Warsaw
1902), and in the book Rabboteinu She-BaGolah, pages 106-109.
His son, Rabbi Avraham Tiktinsky (1855-1931,
Otzar Ha-Rabanim 450) succeeded his father.
Taught in Mir Yeshivah since 1884. Known for
both his Talmudic dialectics and his straight
logic. When Rabbi Avraham became blind
due to illness, he gave over the leadership of
the Yeshivah to Rabbi Eliyahu Baruch Kamai
(father-in-law of Rabbi Lazar Yehudah Finkel),
and in 1906 he stopped giving classes in the
Yeshivah. See more about him in enclosed
material.

468. Mivhar Ha-Peninim Important manuscript

Manuscript of Sefer Mivhar Ha-Peninim with

commentary. [After 1680].
Oriental handwriting copied by a copyist named
Asa"f. Copyist mentions at the beginning of
the book the "Siftei Yeshenim" book which
discusses the identity of the author of Mivhar
Ha-Peninim. Siftei Yeshenim was printed in
Amsterdam in 1680.
According to the colophon in page 35b, the
manuscript was written for Rabbi Yehudah Ben
Moshe Gedalyah of Saloniki, probably a descendant of Rabbi Yehudah Gedalyah of the exiles
of Spain, founder of the dirst printing house in
Saloniki and grandson of Rabbi Yehudah Ben
Moshe Gedalyah, author of the book "Masoret
Talmud Yerushalmi" (Kushta 1577).
On the page before title page there is an antique
stamp of "Jews College London".
The first edition of the book "Mivhar HaPeninim" was published in Soncino, 1548. In

468

1851 a revised edition of the book was published

in London by Zvi Philipovsky from an old manuscript found in the Jews College of London, in
which most of the errors are corrected. This
edition is the basis for many corrected editions
which were published after it. This is probably
the manuscript Philipovsky found in the Jews
College in London, which was not copied from
the printed edition, and has a more precise version than the old editions.
This manuscript was sold by Christies New
York in June 1999, by the management of the
London Beit Din.
[1 blank leaf with the stamp], 35 leaves. 20.5 cm.
Good condition. Thick paper with stains of dampness and restored tears. Fine new binding.

The Admor of Nadvorna Zutshka issued the
Kuntres in Chernovich in 1939 [the last Hebrew
book to be printed there], in which he justified
the right of the small town communities to
separate from those of the nearby big cities.
Actually this was a fight for his right to serve as
Av Beit Din of Zutshka, which separated from
the near city of S.G.

Rabbi Eliezer Hazan, (1786-1823, Otzar HaRabanim 2502). A great sage of Izmir and
Jerusalem. Son of Rabbi Refael Hazan author of
"Hikrei Lev".
In 1995 a book by him was published in
Jerusalem with responsa on Yoreh Deah and
Hoshen Mishpat, from manuscript. Since in the
book "Yishrei Lev" by his brother Rabbi Hayim
David Hazan he quotes from Rabbi Eliezer's
manuscript titled "Mishpatei Hashem", the
publishers chose to name the responsa book by
this name. In their introduction they write they
have not seen the actual "Mispatei Hashem"
book.
This item contains remnants of the lost book, as
the tops of the pages specifically read "Mishpatei
Hashem"!

487. From the archive of Rabbi

Netanel Sofer from Jerusalem

487

Notebooks, writings and a letter (mostly calculations of sunrise times, and charts of times
of the day) by Rabbi Netanel Sofer (Tfilinski),
editor of the charts on the Eretz Israel charts of
Hagri"m Tikochinski. Jerusalem, [circa 1900].
Added is the Ketubah certificate from the marriage of Rabbi Netan'el, printed in Jerusalem.
1884.
Rabbi Netanel Sofer Tfilinski (1866-1918), an
interesting and colorful figure, a scholar of
technical talents and inventor. His Tfilin, which
he made from cattle skin were a breakthrough
in the making of elegant Tfilin, and requests for
such Tfilin came from all over the world (the
Chafetz Chaim and others). The entire industry
of cattle skin Tfilin is still based on his inventions and methods. In the issue of editing the
charts of the times of the day and all the astronomical calculations around it, Rabbi Netanel
was forsmost in this hard work. He rose early
for over 4000 days to witness the sunrise in
various places in the city. All this in order to
prepare the chart of the "Luach Le-Eretz Israel"
published by the "Ets Hayim" Yeshivah to which
he belonged.

491. Commentary on Sefer

Yetzirah by Rabbi Ya'akov Bar

Nissim - Manuscript
Commentary on Sefer Yetzirah, by Rabbi
Ya'akov Bar Nissim Handwriting, France,
1848.
At beginning of the manuscript are a title page
and writings in French by the copyist, Rabbi
Yosef Gugenheimer. Probably as part of a
University paper.
This commentary on Sefer Yetzirah, attributed to 3 persons of Bnei Kairouan from same
period, Rabbi Yitzhak Ha-Yisraeli, Dunash ben
Tamim and Rabbi Ya'akov Ben Nissim [father
of Rabbi Nissim Ga'on]. Many articles were
written about this see attached material.
This manuscript is a copying of the Munich
92/20 manuscript. It's mentioned in missive
of Shneur Zaksh, from 1850. Areshet 5, pages
189-198.
It's unclear who is Rabbi Yosef Gugenheimer,
the writer of this manuscript. It's possible that
he is Rabbi Yosef Gugenheimer from Bohemia
(1833-1896), son-in-law of Rabbi Samson
Raphael Hirsch from Frankfurt, who held position in Rabbinate in communities in Hungary,
in Germany and in Kalin, Bohemia.
It's also possible that the writer is Rabbi Yosef
Gugenheimer, who was Rabbi in Alsace
(France). He was born in 1820. It's more reasonable that he is the writer, because Rabbi
Yosef, Av Beit Din of Kalin, was born in 1833.
Manuscript was written in 1848, when he was
only 15 years old. We also do not know about
him if he studied in the University in France.
[3 leaves], 5-110 pages. 21 cm. Especially attractive writing in Ashkenazi French handwriting.
Good condition, slight wear to margins of pages.

Manuscript pages, written during preparation

by the author, Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael Kanievsky
(The Steipler), Ba'al "Kehilot Ya'akov". Before
1949.
Sefer "Eifat Tsedek", written during the Halachic
polemic between Ha-"Chazon Ish" and his
brother-in-law, The Steipler, and Rabbi Hayim
Na'eh, regrarding measures. The Chazon Ish
thought the measures of Amah and Revi'it are
larger than the ones published by Rabbi Na'eh
in his book "Shiurei Torah". The Steipler wrote
the book "Shi'urin De'Oraita" on behalf of his
son in law to prove his view.
Rabbi Hayim Na'eh as a response published the
book "Shiurei Zion". In the book he criticized
the claims and points of view of the Steipler.
As a response the Steipler wrote the book "Eifat
Tsedek" (1949) in which he replies sharply to
the critiques of Ha-Gra"ch Na'eh.
Only after the death of Ha-Chazon Ish and
Rabbi Hayim Na'eh in 1954, The Steipler republished his opinion in the book "Shiurin Shel
Torah", Jerusalem, 1956. This book includes
his writings on Shiurei Mitzvot, without the
polemic that appears in his 2 former books.
These are draft pages from the book "Eifat
Tsedek" which are somewhat different from
the printed text. Attached is a photocopy for
comparison.
