Willowsky, Jacob David (Ridva”z). Nimukei Ridva”z [commentary on Genesis and Exodus]
FIRST EDITION. This copy
signed and inscribed by the author to R. Alexander Ziskind Moshe Finesilber. Title-page brittle and taped with previous owner’s stamp. Modern boards. 4to. Goldman 721.
Chicago: 1904.
The Ridva”z traveled to America in 1903 whereupon he was appointed Chief Rabbi of Chicago. The present work contains an important introduction pertaining to the history of Kashruth supervision in Chicago, in which the author castigated the overseeing rabbis, indeed the Ridva”z was most concerned about the overall state of Jewish education and religious practice in America as a whole.
