Bais Ha'Levy. Complete Set of 3 volumes. First Editions. Vilna
Complete set of the responsa, novella and sermons of R. Yosef Dov HaLevi Soloveitchik. (Lot does not include sefer on Chumash).
R. Yosef Dov (Yoshe Ber) Soloveitchik (1820-1892), was a great grandson of R. Chaim Volozhiner. Known as an extraordinarily brilliant child, he learned in the great Yeshiva of Volozhin. He also spent some time in Brod where he studied with R. Shlomo Kluger. In 1854, he was appointed as Rosh Yeshiva in Volozhin, where he served until 1865, whereupon he was appointed to become Rav in Slutzk. Amongst his disciples from that period were R. Yosef Rosen, the Rogatchover Gaon (who studied with his son R. Chaim) and R. Zalman Sender Shapiro. He fiercely opposed the Reform movement and eventually, as a result of the activities of the Maskilim, he left Slutzk and moved to Warsaw. When the Rav of Brisk, R. Yehoshua Leib Diskin, left for Eretz Yisroel in 1877, the Beis Ha’Levy succeeded him as Rav. He led the community of Brisk until his passing, when he was succeeded by his son R. Chaim, who in turn was succeeded by his son R. Velvel. The name Soloveitchik remains synonymous with “Brisk” until the present day.
One volume with stamp of R. Yitzchok Kozovsky, brother in law of R. Chaim Ozer Grodzensky. Is this accurate.
176; 1, 3-78, 19; 156 pages. Overall fine condition. Some wear. Antique bindings (worn with one board detached).
