Shu"t Mahari"tz - Interesting Responsa and Polemic Opposing Reform. Zolkiew, 1849-50. Beautiful Complete Edition


Sefer She'elot U'Teshuvot Mahari"tz by Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Chayut, av beit din of Zolkiew. Shaul Dov Meirheifer Press.

The book includes three parts, with separate title pages:

1: Book of responsa - including halachic deliberation, interesting and still-current questions. Responsum 28 was referred to the Chata"m Sofer. Responsum 32 deals with using a Torah scroll for taking an oath in gentile courts. Siman 76 contains an entire kuntress: "Avodat HaMikdash" which deals with giving sacrifices after the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash.

2: Article: "Imrei Binah" - important Torah essays by the author. Clarifications of topics regarding lost aggadahs, Rash"i's commentary on Ta'anit, research on different biblical translations and more.

3: "Minchat Kana'ut" - article opposing changes made by the Reform.


Page 54a bears a lengthy handwritten gloss.
