This includes the Rivkin and Zuckerman family: T Jerusalem-born Rabbi Sholom Rivkin (1926-2011) was the last Chief Rabbi of St. Louis, Missouri, and the last Chief Rabbi of one of only a few cities in the United States that has ever maintained a Chief Rabbinate. Earlier in his distinguished career he held a pulpit in Seattle before being appointed Chief Dayan on the Beth Din of the Rabbinical Council of America. He was a renowned expert in Halacha and an international authority on Jewish divorce and family law. Other rabbis and rabbinical courts from all over the world consulted him on these matters. Rabbi Sholom Rivkin’s father was Rabbi Moshe Dov Ber Rivkin (1891-1977) author of Ashkavta DeRebbe and Tifereth Zion and one of the most prominent Chabad Chassidim of the last generation. Born in Sinsi (near Poltava) Russia, he studied in Yeshiva Tomchei Temimim in the town of Lubavitch under the supervision of the Rebbe Rasha”b, Sholom Dov-Ber Schneerson. In 1916 R. Rivkin was invited by the Frierdiker Rebbe, R. Yoseph Yitzchak Schneerson to be his study partner and was warmly treated as a member of the Schneerson family. He was appointed and served as Rosh Yeshivah of Torath Emeth in Jerusalem, but in 1928 accepted the post of Dean of Mesivta Torah Vodaath, New York, where he remained for over fifty years. Some of his disciples became leaders of the next generation such as R. Gedaliah Schorr and R. Abraham Pam. He served as honorary President of the Agudath HaRabanim and maintained close relations with many of the greatest Rabbis and Roshei Yeshiva in America as reflected in his correspondence offered in this auction. R. Sholom Rivkin’s father-in-law, Rabbi Dov Berish Zuckerman (1901-73) was one one of the “giants of Torah” of the last generation. Born in Hubniv in Galicia, he corresponded in his youth with many of the most renowned Rabbis in Poland. He was the son-in-law of the rare bookdealer and Rabbi of Husyatin R. David Frankel. A Belzer Chassid, R. Zuckerman was especially close to the Tchebiner Rav, R. Dov Berish Weidenfeld (as reflected in the correspondence to be offered here). From 1942-68 he served as Rabbi of Buffalo, New York. His older brother R. Baruch, a great Talmudic genius was the son-in-law of R. Meir Arak and died young in 1932. The Zuckerman brothers’ works Beth Aaron on Tractate Horiyoth, Imrei Baruch and novellae on the Rambam in light of the Meiri were published by R. Sholom Rivkin. The auction also includes books from the library of Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak Halevi Ruderman (1901-87), founder and Rosh Yeshiva of Ner Israel Rabbinical College, Baltimore. Alongside which are books from his son-in-law and successor at Ner Yisroel, Shmuel Yaakov Weinberg (1923-99). The books offered from the Collection of Nathan Lewin represent a passion for the Land of Israel and in particular the varied ways over the centuries the country has been cartographically represented. Many of the more traditional Hebrew books containing maps may be found in the catalogue here listed under their author’s name. Those books that represent Travel Literature to the Holy Land are presented in their own section in the catalogue commencing with Lot 308. Lot 342 — P RINTED B OOKS — 1 ABOAB, SAMUEL.

Contemporary wrappers. 8vo. n.p., (1779). $1500-2000 ❧ In Defense of America’s Independence from Britain. In a rejoinder to an earlier (1778) pamphlet entitled Discours d’un bon Hollandois, this argues that England has traditionally been the most dangerous rival of Dutch commerce (p. 6). A year earlier in 1778, the author published Observations impartiales d’un vrai Hollandois. Our present work, as its title indicates, may be construed as the continuation of that work. In a lengthy footnote on p. 45 we find an attack upon “le celebre Mr. Pinto de la Haye” (the celebrated Mr. Pinto of The Hague.) The author, tongue in cheek, finds it difficult to conceive that the Discours d’un bon Hollandois and the excellent economic Traité de la circulation et du crédit (Treatise on Circulation and Credit) issued from the pen of the same man. Isaac de Pinto (1717-1787), a Dutch Jew of Portuguese descent, an economist and director of the Dutch East India Company, was one of the wealthiest Jews in all Holland. Hailed as one of the most brilliant economists of the age, Pinto was firmly opposed to the American Revolution, ostensibly on economic grounds, and gave vent to his thoughts in several works. See JE, Vol. X, p. 54; EJ, Vol. XIII, cols. 553-554; M.H. Gans, Memorbook (1977), pp. 112-113. French journalist Antoine-Marie Cerisier (1749-1828) proved himself to be a good friend of the nascent United States. John Adams visited Cerisier in Utrecht and was duly impressed by the later’s enthusiasm for the American cause. Cerisier was instrumental in assisting Adams in disseminating pro-American and anti-British propaganda in the Netherlands. [see illustration above] 5 (AMERICAN JUDAICA). Wilson, James P.

  • Keter Shem Tov: a Study in the Entitling of Books, Here Limited to One Title Only
    Keter Shem Tov: A Study in the Entitling of Books, Here Limited to One Title Only Keter Shem Tov: A Study in the Entitling of Books, Here Limited to One Title Only[1] by Marvin J. Heller Entitling, naming books is, a fascinating subject. Why did the author call his book what he/she did? Why that name and not another? Hebrew books frequently have names resounding in meaning, but providing little insight into the contents of the book. This article explores the subject, focusing on one title only, Keter Shem Tov. That book-name is taken from a verse “the crown of a good name (Keter Shem Tov) excels them all (Avot 4:13). The article describes the varied books with that title, unrelated by author or subject, and why the author/publisher selected that title for the book. 1. Simeon said: there are three crowns: the crown of Torah, the crown of priesthood, and the crown of royalty; but the crown of a good name (emphasis added, Keter Shem Tov) excels them all (Avot 4:13). “As a pearl atop a crown (keter), so are his good deeds fitting” (Israel Lipschutz, Zera Yisrael, Avot 4:13). Entitling, naming books, remains, is, a fascinating subject. Why did the author call his book what he/she did? Why that name and not another? Hebrew books since the Middle-Ages often have names resounding in meaning, but providing little insight into the contents of the book. A reader looking at the title of a book in another language, more often than not, is immediately aware of the book’s subject matter.

  • Chassidus on the Chassidus on the Parsha +
    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) VA’ES CHA NAN _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Deciphered Messages The Torah tells us ( Shemos 19:19) that when the Jewish people gathered at Mount Sinai to receive the Torah , “Moshe spoke and Hashem answered him with a voice.” The Gemora (Berochos 45a) der ives from this pasuk the principle that that an interpreter should not speak more loudly than the reader whose words he is translating. Tosafos immediately ask the obvious question: from that pasuk we see actually see the opposite: that the reader should n ot speak more loudly than the interpreter. We know, says Rav Levi Yitzchok, that Moshe’s nevua (prophecy) was different from that of the other nevi’im (prophets) in that “the Shechina was speaking through Moshe’s throat”. This means that the interpretation of the nevuos of the other nevi’im is not dependent on the comprehension of the people who hear it. The nevua arrives in this world in the mind of the novi and passes through the filter of his perspectives. The resulting message is the essence of the nevua. When Moshe prophesied, however, it was as if the Shechina spoke from his throat directly to all the people on their particular level of understanding. Consequently, his nevuos were directly accessible to all people. In this sense then, Moshe was the rea der of the nevua , and Hashem was the interpreter.
