Halachic Decision about Grinding Flour for Passover. Oran, 1911
"Halachic decision about grinding flour for Passover with metal millstones known as cylinders." Regarding the a priori prohibition to grind wheat in a steam-operated mill, by Rabbi Chaim Yosef Maman. Oran, 1911.
Printed cover jacket, and the whole work is in lithograph. The last page contains the author's signature and stamp as Av Beit Din of Oran and the state.
The book was at the center of a raging controversy in Algeria. The rabbis of Algeria published a work opposing this one called Kol Rechayim, Algeria, 1912, and another call Kol Tachanah Kol Tachanah by Rabbi Rephael Chaim Moshe Ben-Naim, Jerusalem 1912-1913.
Rabbi Chaim Yosef Maman [1858-1925] was the grandson of Rabbi Rephael Maman of Meknes who immigrated to the Land of Israel and lived in Safed and Tiberias, one of the great sages of Tiberias. In 1898 he left as an emissary to Morocco; in 1906 he was appointed rabbi in Oran and then in Casablanca. He returned to Tiberias in 1924.
