Sha’agat Aryeh – responsa and in-depth studies by the gaon Rabbi Aryeh Leib Ginsburg [1695-1785], rabbi of Metz. Printed by the rabbi of Slavuta, Rabbi Shmuel Avraham Shapira. Copy that belonged to the gaon Rabbi Shlomo Heiman, many stamps.
Before us is the famous monumental work by the author; he is known by its name, as “the Sha’agat Aryeh.” With “Hagahot Chadashot” and “Kuntress Acharon” by the proofreader Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Leib of Vilna. Many approbations from leading rabbis of Lithuania, given specifically for this edition and for “Kuntress Acharon.”
The book Sha’agat Aryeh is considered the epitome of genius and logic, and until the previous generation, it had been customary that almost all bar-mitzvah speeches were drawn from the words of the ‘Sha’agat Aryeh.’
The gaon Rabbi Shlomo Heiman [1892-1945] was one of the leading rashei yeshivah in Lithuania and then in the United States. He was the rosh yeshivah of Ohel Torah in Baranovich and at Yeshivat Ramailes in Vilna. He then moved to the United States where he served as rosh yeshivah of Torah Vodaath in New York, and as a member of the Council of Torah Sages. His novellae were printed by Rabbi Michel Yehudah Lefkowitz, rosh yeshivah of Ponovezh, who was his disciple at the Ramailes yeshivah, in two volumes entitled Chiddushei Rebbi Shlomo , as well as in Shiurei Rebbe Shlomo , which was printed in Lakewood.
