Teshuvah by the Daas Sofer regarding the Measurement of a K’zayis. Pressburg, 1922

A lengthy, handwritten and autographed Teshuvah by Hagaon Harav Akiva Sofer, Av Beis Din of Pressburg. In this Teshuvah, he notes his grandfather’s opinion on several occasions. He goes on to discuss the matters of the prohibition of Chadash.

The Daas Sofer Hagaon Harav Akiva Sofer (1878-1960) served as Av Beis Din of Pressburg, perpetuating the golden chain of his ancestors the Chasam Sofer, Ksav Sofer and Shevet Sofer as Rabbanim and Roshei Yeshivah in Pressburg. Already as an adolescent, he began delivering shiurim in the Pressburg Yeshivah, and in 1907, succeeded his father as the Rav of the city. In 1940, he journeyed to Eretz Yisrael where he rebuilt his yeshivah in Yerushalayim. His written legacy includes Shu”t Daas Sofer on Shulchan Aruch and Daas Sofer on Torah and Festivals.

Pressburg, Lag Ba’Omer 1922. 3 leaves (6 handwritten sides) on official stationery. Page size: 22x14 cm. Good condition.
Printed in Shu”t Daas Sofer Orach Chaim Ch. 82.

What Is the Measurement of a K׳zayis Matzah?
Fascinating teshuvos by Hungarian Gedolim
Harav Akiva Klein of Nitra, a disciple of the Ksav Sofer, posed an intriguing question that stimulated responses from gedolei Torah.
The obligation of eating a k׳zayis of matzah - Does a k׳zayis matzah mean that one needs to consume a full k׳zayis of flour and not take in account the water component in the matzah or does a k׳zayis include both the flour and water?
We present you with a collection of responsa from the Maharshag, Pnei Meivin and Daas Sofer regarding this question.
