Shulchan Melachim – halachah, from the gaon Rabbi Moshe Tzvi Landau, Av Beit Din of Kleinwardien. Beregszász, 1931. Copy that belonged to three great personages who together encompassed the entire Torah: Halachah, Kabbalah and Chassidut. Many signatures and glosses.
At the beginning, the book belonged to the gaon Rabbi Ya’akov Yosef Jungreis, Av Beit Din of Nyírmada, Hungary, whose stamps appear on the title page and on the following page. (As well as an owner’s signature by his brother-in-law, Rabbi Yechiel Michel Broch.) From him the book moved on to one of the greatest in-depth Kabbalists of recent generations, the Kabbalist is Rabbi Daniel Frisch, author of Matok HaDevash , whose handwritten signature appears twice – once on the flyleaf and once on the title page. (It is unknown how the book came into Rabbi Daniel Frisch’s possession; what is known is that Rabbi Daniel is also of Hungarian origin.) And Rabbi Daniel Frisch, with his love for the sanctified, gave the book as mishloach manot to his teacher and rabbi, the Admo”r of Toldot Aharon, Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kahn. As appears in his hand on the flyleaf: “Mishloach manot for the Admo”r shlit”a, Daniel ben Sarah.”
Many glosses and corrections among the book’s leaves. The glosses, some of which were written in pen and some in pencil, were not checked in comparison with the script of the three rabbinic leaders, and they could have been written by one or all of them. One of the glosses concludes with: “Most wondrous and awesome matter.”
