Novaelle about Halacha and Aggadah and Pilpulim by Rabbi David Zvi Katzburg, and the article “Vayehi Binsoa…” on exalted topics by Rabbi Meshulam Zalman Katzburg. Budapest, 1944. Extremely rare.
3-16 pages, title page and first page are missing. At the top of the leaves is written Tel Talpiot, February 27 1944. Extremely rare, as there is no known complete copy in the world. In the National Library is a photocopy of a copy from the National Library of Budapest, in which the last two pages are missing from the article Vayehi Binsoa, which is the most important in this booklet, as explained below.
In the article “Vayehi Binsoa…” Rabbi Katzburg raises the heavy question about the leadership of the Rabbis and the Holocaust, if the Rabbi should remain with his congregants, or if he may save himself and his family. At the end of the article Rabbi Katzburg asks Rabbis to express their opinion on the topic. It is important to note that in the book Bseter Ra’am by Rabbanit Esther Farbstein (published by Mossad HaRav Kook) is an extensive discusssion on this question. She did not have this article in front of her, due to its rarity.
New cover. Title page is missing. Age stains. Filing holes with damage to a few letters. Tears and reinforcements on the last leaf. All of the text is legible. Fine condition.
