Chidushei Torah on Tehillim written by Rabbi Yosef Zechariah Stern, Av Beit Din of Shavel. Harav Yosef Zechariah Stern Av Beis Din of Shavel , (1839-1904) was one of the leading Rabbinical leaders of his generation and author of many highly acclaimed works. His Seforim, which encompass a wide spectrum of Torah subjects, are renowned for their great erudition and reveal some of the breadth of his encyclopedic knowledge. Additionally, his opinion on complex halachic issues was much sought after, and many of his responsa are printed in his multi-volume Zecher Yehosef. In his first published work Zecher Yehosef on the Shas, which was published when R. Yosef Zechariah was 20 years old, R. Yaakov Gesundheit of Warsaw writes in his approbation, “HaRav Hama’or HaGaon HaGadol HaCharif UBaki HaMefursam R. Yosef Zechariah Stern of Lita came before me and showed me his manuscript… and I stood there astonished and trembling at the extent of his incisive encyclopedic knowledge of Talmud Bavli, Yerushalmi, Tosefta, with all the Teshuvos, Poskim and Meforshim….” In 1861, he assumed the position of Rav in Shavel where he served his congregation faithfully for 43 years until his passing. 1 large page, 2 sides.
