Manuscript [2 pages] of Torah novellae handwritten by the leading rosh yeshivah of the previous generation, the gaon Rabbi Shmuel Rozovsky, rosh yeshivah of Ponovezh.
The novellae are on the topic “Plaginan Dibura” (Ketubot 18 and other places) and it is not known if they were ever printed.
The gaon Rabbi Shmuel Rozovsky [1913-1979] was the rosh yeshivah of Ponovezh. As a young man, his name was already renowned over the entire yeshivah world, and while he was yet unmarried, he was appointed rosh yeshivah of Ponovezh, which is almost completely unheard of. In fact, he was the one who shaped the character of the “ben yeshivah” of our times. He served as a bridge to transmit the Torah of the Lithuanian yeshivahs from the generation before the Holocaust to the generation after it. His Torah thoughts that appear in Shiurei Rabi Shmuel and Zichron Shmuel constitute, to this day, the basis of lessons delivered by rashei yeshivahs, many of whom are among his disciples.
