Classic commentary on the Torah and Megilos by R. Meir Simcha Ha’Cohen of Dvinsk. Received with great acclaim, it is one of the prime commentaries on the weekly Torah portions, beloved by both scholars and laymen.
R. Meir Simcha Ha’Cohen (1843-1926) was born in Butrimonys, Lithuania and after his marriage he settled in Bialystok where he studied in the local shul for many years developing into a phenomenal Talmid Chochom. He then accepted an invitation to be the Rav of the Misnagdim of the city of Dvinsk alongside R. Yosef Rosen (Rogatchover Gaon), who was the Rav of the Chasidim. He wrote his commentary on the Torah when he was all but 18 years old, although it was not published until after his death in 1926. It was published by his pupil R. Menachem Mendel Duber Zak (1871-1943) Rav of Riga.
Levin press. 434 pages. 25cm. Fine condition. Some tape on the first and last pages. Very small tear to final page. Modern binding.
