Manuscript, novellae on Talmudic topics, by R. Yehuda Segal, including novellae from his teacher the Chatam Sofer. [Pressburg and Ir Chadash (Neustadt, Nové Mesto), 1839-1843].
Novellae on Talmudic topics in tractates Beitzah, Ketubot, Yevamot, Chullin and more, written during the author's years of study in his hometown Ir Chadash, and later in Pressburg, during the final years of the Chatam Sofer's lifetime, and at the beginning of the Ktav Sofer's tenure.
The volume comprises two parts in different handwriting, both by the same writer (a table of contents for both parts appears at the beginning of the volume, with consecutive foliation throughout). The part bound second was written earlier, with an inscription on its first page (p. 65a): "This is my notebook, Yehuda Segal…". The author was presumably R. Yehuda Segal (d. 1876) of Ir Chadash (Nové Mesto), disciple of the Chatam Sofer and of the Ktav Sofer. He later served as dayan in his hometown.
Most of the novellae are the writer's original thoughts, from his time in the Pressburg yeshiva and from earlier periods, though he occasionally quotes teachings from his teachers, including novellae from the Chatam Sofer. These novellae were printed with textual variations in the books of the Chatam Sofer.
The second part was composed in his youth, in Ir Chadash, while the first part was written later, when he was studying in Pressburg. The novellae are dated 1839-1843, most date after the passing of the Chatam Sofer. One later addition dated 1874.
He also quotes novellae from other Torah scholars such as R. Elazar Strasser Rabbi of Ir Chadash (1790?-1849), disciple of the Shemen Roke'ach; R. Meir Sobotischt (d. 1838), a Torah scholar in Ir Chadash and later rabbi of Schächtitz; and R. Shlomo Zalman Bonyhad (d. 1858), disciple of the Maharam Ash Rabbi of Ungvar.
[116] leaves (misfoliation). 21 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Minor tears and wear. Several detached leaves. Old binding, damaged and partially detached.

Manuscript, copyings of five letters, novellae and sermons by R. Yehoshua Buxbaum Rabbi of Galanta; and copyings of two letters from his teacher R. Shmuel Rosenberg Rabbi of Unsdorf. [Hungary, ca. 1940].
The letters and novellae were presumably copied by a student in the Galanta yeshiva, from the manuscript of R. Naftali Buxbaum, son of R. Yehoshua. To the best of our knowledge, part of the manuscript remains unpublished.
The manuscript opens with a letter from R. Shmuel Rosenberg to R. Yeshaya Silberstein Rabbi of Waitzen, in which he opposes introducing secular studies in the yeshiva curriculum. This followed by a letter on a similar topic by R. Yehoshua Buxbaum.
The second part of the manuscript comprises 20 pages of novellae and sermons, mostly on the Torah portions. Most of these sermons were published in Or Pnei Yehoshua on the Torah (Jerusalem 1950), though some remain unpublished (see enclosed material).
The manuscript concludes with an enthusiastic letter of recommendation from R. Shmuel Rosenberg of Unsdorf for his disciple R. Yehoshua Buxbaum. To the best of our knowledge, this letter is unpublished.
See Hebrew description for more details about the various letters.
Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg, author of Be’er Shmuel (1842-1919), foremost Hungarian rabbi and yeshiva dean. A leading disciple of the Ktav Sofer. Rabbi of Tshaba (Hejőcsaba), and later of Unsdorf, where he founded a large yeshiva. He stood at the helm of Orthodox Jewry in its battles against the Reform movement.
His disciple, R. Yehoshua Buxbaum – rabbi of Galanta (1878-1944; perished in the Holocaust). Foremost Hungarian yeshiva dean. Rabbi of Magendorf (Veľký Meder), and later of Galanta. He edified thousands of G-d fearing and erudite disciples, and ignited them with the passion for love of G-d and His worship.
[16] written leaves (+ 21 blank leaves). 20 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Worming, slightly affecting text. Tear to final leaf, slightly affecting text. Original binding, damaged and torn.

Manuscript, homiletics and Aggadic novellae on various topics, with Talmudic novellae, by an unidentified author. [Warsaw, ca. 1904-1919]; bound at the end of Halachah LeMoshe, Warsaw 1899.
The main part of the manuscript comprises novellae on Talmudic topics, and one homily, dated Bamidbar 1904. Various homiletics, in a different handwriting, dated 1917-1919, were added in the blank spaces in the manuscript. The manuscript may have been written by two writers, or by a single writer whose handwriting changed over the years. To the best of our knowledge, the manuscript was not published.
The writer mentions various synagogues in Warsaw, as well as his colleague R. Yehoshua Yaakov HaKohen a Warsaw Torah scholar; which seems to indicate that he served there as preacher or rabbi. The homilies include a eulogy on the Lviv pogrom of 1918, which serves as an interesting historical documentation of the pogrom (see below).
Beside some of the homilies appears a note in a different hand: "Recorded in section… in Chemdat Yehoshua". There is a book titled Chemdat Yehoshua by R. Yehoshua HaLevi Zambrowsky (1874-1939), who served as posek in Warsaw in 1900, and later as rabbi in Buffalo and Syracuse, NY. He may be the author of the present manuscript, though none of the present homilies are printed there.
120 pages (Halachah LeMoshe) + 26 handwritten leaves. 30.5 cm. Very dry and brittle paper. Stains. Marginal closed and open tears, affecting text. Remnants of many torn out and lacking leaves at end of manuscript. New binding.
The Lviv Pogrom of 1918 – Historical Documentation
The present manuscript includes a eulogy delivered following the pogrom which took place in Lviv in 1918, during which thousands of Jews were killed and injured. In the eulogy, given on Monday, 6th Tevet 1918, some two weeks after the pogrom, the author laments the loss of over 1000 lives, the tens of thousands left homeless, and the desecration of the synagogues.
The Lviv pogrom was perpetrated on 21-23 November 1918 by the Polish forces, with the assistance of local thugs, after the retreat of the Ukrainians during the course of the Polish-Ukrainian war. According to modern research, some 70 Jews were killed, however contemporary sources give much higher numbers. Newspaper articles of that time record some 600 dead, and later 960. This is corroborated by the eulogy in the present manuscript, which mourns the loss of over a thousand Jews.
6th Tevet, the day this eulogy was delivered, was set as a day of mourning and protest in the wake of the pogrom.
