Tzeidah LaDerech, extensive commentary on Rash”i’s commentary on the Torah, also deals with prior commentators on Rash”i such as the “Mizrachi,” by Rabbi Yissachar Ber Eilenburg, author of Be’er Sheva. The title page and leaf with the introduction are lacking. Rabbi Yissachar Ber Eilenburg [1550-1623], disciple of the Sm”a and of the author of the Levushim for Torah study and disciple of Rabbi Yisrael Sarug (Saruk) for the study of kabbalah. He was a rabbi in Gorizia and later in Prague. He was accepted as a rabbi in Safed but passed away on his way to the Land of Israel. At the beginning of the book, his son presents the “text of the writings from Safed” – letters by Safed sages requesting that he come and serve as a rabbi in their town. Among his well-known halachic rulings: His responsum (siman 18) which served as the basis for the opinion that prohibits wearing a wig as halachic head-covering for women. In addition, he was unhappy with the common custom of pouring out havdalah wine as a good omen. He believed it was wasteful, and if he had it in his power, he would have prohibited it. He was known for his composition Be’er Sheva al HaShas which constitutes something of a ‘Tosafot’ on tractates and parts of tractates from the Babylonian Talmud which do not have the Tosafot commentary. 218 [should be 217] leaves, mispaginated. 29 cm.
