Large manuscript, [153] large pages handwritten and with signatures by the renowned gaon Rabbi Ephraim Greenblatt, author of Rivevot Ephraim , primary disciple on the leader of American Jewry, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, and himself one of the most prominent poskei halachah in the United States (and towards the end of his life, in Jerusalem). The author of Rivevot Ephraim is renowned for his many responsa to gedolei hador , many of which are collected in this lot. These include scholarly responsa [New York, 1970s].
This collection includes dozens of halachic responsa (most signed) sent to gedolei haposkim and morei hora’ah – Sar HaTorah Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, Posek HaDor Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, author of Iggerot Moshe ; Posek HaDor Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach; Rabbi Shmuel HaLevi Wosner, author of Shevet HaLevi ; Rabbi Menashe Klein, author of Mishneh Halachot ; Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg; Rabbi Yehoshua Yeshayah Neuwirth, author of Shemirath Shabbath KeHilchathah ; and his brother-in-law, Rabbi Shlomo Brevda ztz”l, Rabbi Sroyah Devlitzky, Rabbi Peretz Steinberg, Rabbi Chaim Rosen, Rabbi Eliyahu Koppel and more.
One of the interesting letters sent to Rabbi Moshe Feinstein discusses the halachahs of tearing one’s garment in memory of the churban – should one do this at the Western Wall, or as soon as one enters Jerusalem?
