Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer, Part II – Hilchot Gittin, with commentaries: Be’er HaGolah, Be’er Heitev and Pitchei Teshuvah. Johannesburg, 1861. Copy which belonged to Rabbi Ya’akov Reinowitz, dayan in London, with many glosses. There is a lengthy handwritten deliberation on the flyleaf about how to write the name of the city “London” on a get. At the end of the the book, there is a lengthy deliberation about permission to send a get. Rabbi Ya’akov Reinowitz [d. 1893] served as a dayan for 30 years in his native city, Volkavisk, then he immigrated to London where he served as Raava”d in the Beit Din of the chief rabbis of the Adler family. Responsa from the Netzi”v were directed to him in Meishiv Davar Part II siman 17, in Part IV simanim 23 and 25, and he is mentioned in siman 56. Despite his low salary, he was very active in charitable causes, especially collecting money for the Volozhin yeshivah, and the Netzi”v corresponded with him a lot about the yeshivah’s finances. He left many books behind – books of commentary and sermons, and primarily of wide-ranging responsa literature, but most were lost. This book, immersed in his glosses, contains a small remnant of a tremendous Torah enterprise. [4], 316, [3] leaves. 22 cm. Fine condition. Aging stains. Stamps. Many glosses. Simple binding.
