2 editions of the work Ben Avraham by the father-in-law of the Grash Wosner, anonymously published, with tables for correcting one’s middot
1. Ben Avraham by Rabbi Avraham Eliyahu Meises, anonymously printed, including two sections: first called “Beit HaSafek” with laws about sfeika and 15 sugiyot in Masechet Chulin and a few rare mitzvot, the second section is called “Beit Mussar” also divided into two sections: first, Pirkei Mussar, with warnings and deep ideas, to bring one to perfect one’s middot. Secondly, done in such a way that the reader can list on the page his defects and sins, whether spoken, acted, or merely thought. 448 pages [380-448 in Section 2], at the end are tables for following up on one’s middot work, 8 pages. A number of pages are detached, generally good condition.
2. Second section of Ben Avraham, Beit HaMussar. Pocket edition, probably printed in 1952 in Paris. 183 pages, [26] pages not numbered for following up on one’s middot work. Original binding is detached partially, generally good condition.

Rabbi Avraham Eliyahu Meises (1901-1961) was a Lithuanian Rosh Yeshiva active in spreading Judaism in Communist Russia. In 1953 he moved to Israel, was very active in the conflicts between Haredi Judaism and the country in his role as rosh yeshiva of Torah v’Yirah. He believed in baking matzot with chumrot and he worked to establish the well-known matzah bakery of Toldot Aharon, who were known in his generation for their many hidurim and chumrot, such as using glass tables to roll the matzot (and not wood), and new rollers every 18 minutes. He would isolate himself from Rosh Chodesh Elul until after Yom Kippur. When he died in 1961, his father-in-law, Maran Rav Shmuel HaLevi Wosner said at his eulogy: “He would not tell most of his life story since he said he would tell it in Olam HaBa.”
