Wonderful responsum by Rabbeinu the Maharika”sh, in which he was asked about the blessing HaRav et Riveinu , and was asked to explain the meaning of the apparent repetition in the blessing. In his responsum (followed by his community from the days of his youth) the Maharika”sh expounds on the words of the blessing, and explains the necessity of each and every one of them.
The Maharika”sh writes the question and the answer in clear, legible script, and signs at the end: “The youth, Ya’akov Castro.”
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of Rabbi Ya’akov Castro .
The responsum was printed in Shu”t Ohalei Ya’akov, Livorno, 1777, siman 9, page 14b.
