Rare and Special Manuscript that was not Published - Written by a Young Gaon who was Only 16-Years-Old! Arugat Habosem Section I / Kuntres Hachassid Vehamaskil - Safed, 1900? - Fine, orderly and exceptionally beautiful manuscript with Divrei Torah, Chidushim, the Chassidim-Misnagdim polemic, copying of Shut and more.  Arugat Habosem At the beginning of the work, ”Sefer Arugat Habosem Section I, compiling the opinions in the Shas and Poskim on varied Sugyot and matters and the commentaries Divrei Menachem, Peirush Menachem, Teshuvat Menachem, Yedei Menachem and Likutei Hadrat menachem... a special Kuntres Responsum on the matter of a Shochet and Bodek titled Kol Menachem... which G-d blessed me with until I was sixteen... these are the first eight Kuntresim of 138...”. The young author signed his name: ”Menachem Mendel Stein ben Rabbi Zeev Yuda” and added a stamp with the addition ”In Safed, grandson of Maran the Beit Yosef”.  Hachassid Vehamaskil Later in the manuscript appears the tenth Kuntres of the 138 authored by the writer - a fascinating work in the format of a conversation between a Chassid and a Maskil which introduces Chassidic customs and rabbis.  Later, the second part of this Kuntres (without a title page) appears, titled ”The Thirteenth Kuntres (including two books authored by me, Amirat Menachem and Zer Zahav) of the 138 I had authored”. After this Kuntres, there is an additional title page: ”Kuntres section I, Chochmat Menachem, which is the fourteenth Kuntres... on Mamar Chazal אורייתא וקוב”ה וישראל חד”. The work however ends here.  The Torah of Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner In his Chidushei Torah, the young Gaon author refers to many of his rabbis including his Rav and teacher, the Gaon Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner Av Beit Din of Klausenburg. The author introduces Many Divrei Torah and varied customs of his Rav, Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner. Fascinating and original content that has never been published.  Halachic correspondence with the Lev HaIvri The author also refers to the Admor Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Deyzh and apparently was one of his Chassidim. On leaf 14, the author refers to Rabbi Akiva Yosef the author of the Lev HaIvri. He also refers many times to his uncle, the Gaon author of Be'er Moshe. In one place, we found reference to the Gaon Rabbi Avraham Chaim Einhorn, author of Sefer Atzei HaOlah and to Rabbi Nachman Greenbaum/ Throughout the manuscript, the author also refers to his friends, apparently from Klausenburg, from which he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael.  Correspondence with ”Ploni” and the Jerusalem forger Appearing in one of the copied responses: ”I have been asked by Ploni Almoni (John Doe) from Jaffa...”. Later, he explains why he did not write the name of the John Doe: ”ולא העתקתי סברותיו בחקירה כוזבות...”. In his response, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Stein explains clearly why it is forbidden to eat from the Shechita of a Shochet who studies the writings of the Ramad: ”ימחול לעיין בצוואת משה שצוה ובספרי רמ”ד אל תשלחו ידכם ומה שכתב עליו הלב העברי...”. Later, there is a copying of his response to Rabbi Shlomo Yehuda Friedlander - the famed Jerusalem forger of Kodshim... About the writer based on his manuscript We could not find much about this Gaon author although the manuscript indicates he was knowledgeable in Shas and Poskim. Based on his writings, we concluded that he was born in Klausenburg to Rabbi Zeev Yehuda Stein, who was a Shochet and Bodek of the town. He was a descendant of the Beit Yosef, Rabbi Yosef Karo (see more in Alei Zikaron 18). Rabbi Zeev Yehuda immigrated with this son of his to Eretz Yisrael in ca. 1900 and settled in Safed. In Eretz Yisrael, he married the daughter of Rabbi Moshe Nachman Aryeh Zeida Margaliot, the head of Kollel Vohlin in Eretz Yisrael, the son of Rabbi Chaim Shimon Shaul Margaliot. In 2 places in the manuscript, the author writes about himself that he was Reish Metivta / Rosh Yeshiva of Ateret Moshe of Jerusalem. The manuscript also indicates that he was a Deyzh Chassid and a leading disciple of Rabbi Moshe Glasner Av Beit Din of Klausenburg. He was also the brother of Rabbi Avraham Moshe Stein, the Rav of Sărmaşu and later, Dayan and Moreh Tzeddek of Klausenburg.  [2], 26, [9] leaves. 26 cm. Some tears.
