Large collection of books by Rebbe Gershon Chanoch Leiner, Rabbi and the first Rebbe of Radzyn (Radzyń Podlaski), discoverer of the Techelet and a leading Polish rebbe. First editions.

1-2. Sefunei Temunei Chol, halachic discussion of the Chilazon and Techelet, by Rebbe Gershon Chanoch Leiner. Warsaw, 1887. First edition, rare [the later stereotype editions omit the colophon (on leaf 19) stating his intention to publish Petil Techelet if he finds the Chilazon].

Bound with: Petil Techelet – Part II of Sefunei Temunei Chol, by Rebbe Gershon Chanoch Leiner. Warsaw, 1888. First edition.

3. Sidrei Taharot, on Tractate Ohalot, by Rebbe Gershon Chanoch Henich Leiner, Rabbi of Radzyn.

Sidrei Taharot is a comprehensive and brilliant original work on Tractates Kelim and Ohalot. Since there is neither Babylonian nor Jerusalem Talmud on these tractates, the author compiled a kind of "Gemara". The center of the page is occupied by the text of the Mishnah, followed by all the teachings of the Babylonian Talmud, Jerusalem Talmud and Midrashim pertaining to that Mishnah. The text of the Mishnah and Talmud is flanked by two commentaries by the author – one lengthy and one brief, replicating the style of Rashi and Tosafot. A great controversy arose at the time surrounding this work.

4-7. Sod Yesharim, Chassidic discourses for the festivals, by Rebbe Gershon Chanoch Leiner. Four parts (of five) in three volumes: Part I, on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Part II on Sukkot, Part IV on Purim and four parashiot, and Part V on Pesach. Warsaw, 1902-1908. First editions.

Part II – distinguished copy. On endpaper, ownership inscription stating that the book belonged to "R. Yitzchak HaKohen Feigenbaum, head of the Warsaw Beit Din". [R. Yitzchak HaKohen Feigenbaum (1828-1911), a leading rabbi of Warsaw, close disciple of the Chidushei HaRim. He was a follower of the Seraph of Kotzk and his disciples, including the Chidushei HaRim of Ger and the Avnei Nezer of Sochatchov. In 1868 he was appointed dayan and posek in Warsaw, and later served as head of the Beit Din, alongside R. Shmuel Zanvil Klepfish, and headed an important yeshiva. In 1903 he founded the Shaarei Torah periodical, a central Torah journal in Poland, which continued to be published by his sons and disciples until 1939]. Ownership inscriptions of "the staff of Shaarei Torah, Warsaw", and "the chief library for Jewish Torah by the Chachmei Lublin yeshiva", and stamps of the Polish "Ministry of Religion" on distribution of Jewish books.
