Compilation of Torah Novellae by Rabbi Yosef Rabi, Rosh Yeshivah of Sha'ar Torah
Kuntress Chiddushei Torah B'Masechet Sukkah Daf 7a. Entirely handwritten by the rosh yeshivah of Sha'ar Torah in Jaffa, Rabbi Yosef Rabi (Rabbi Kook's brother-in-law). Jaffa, early 20th Century.
Upon Rabbi Kook's arrival to serve as rabbi of the Jaffa community in 1904, the Sha'ar Torah yeshivah received serious forward momentum in its development. Rabbi Kook saw himself as patron and mashgiach of this institution, and he would pray at the local synagogue, test the students, and be involved in the curricula. As such, he published many letters calling for donors across the Jewish world to come to the assistance of the institution. The yeshivah was referred to by Rabbi Kook as "HaYeshivah HaMerkazit, " but it was also called "Yeshivah L'Torah U'LeChochmat HaEmet" and "Yeshivat Sha'arei Torah" - and this name was used as well for the upper grades of the Talmud Torah. In various sources, it was called the non-specific name of "Yeshivat Mohara"i HaKohen Kook B'Yaffo." In charge of the top class of the Talmud Torah (occasionally also called 'the yeshivah') was Rabbi Kook's brother-in-law, Rabbi Yosef Rabi, who wrote these novellae.
