Sermons by the son-in-law of the Gaon Rabbi Nachum Trebitsch, Rabbi Avraham Shimson Kolka. Autograph. [1848-1851].
Handwritten sermons. Written by a rabbi in Germany, Rabbi Avraham Shimshon Kolka, apparently the son-in-law of Rabbi Nachum Trebitsch. Autograph. [1848-1851]. About 100 leaves of different sizes, bound together. Sermons for the High Holidays, Succot, Shabbat Hagadol, Shabbat Zachor and more – most in Yiddish-German with a few leaves in Hebrew. The author’s autograph with the ethical lessons he imparted to his congregation. Features two Hebrew leaves in the middle with text of a sermon said by Rabbi Nachum Trebitsch. Rabbi Nachum Trebitsch lived from 1779 through 1842. In his sermon, written in 1838, he is mentioned with the attribution that he was still alive. However, in his son-in-law’s sermon written in 1848, he is already mentioned as no longer alive. He was the av”d in Nikolsburg from 1831, following the death of its previous Rabbi, Rabbi Mordechai Benet. Rabbi Avraham Shimshon Kolka was the Rabbi in a village in Moravia. He wrote an elegy for his father-in-law. [It was published in the preface to the Shu”t Rabbi Nachum Trebitsch published by Machon Yerushalayim in 1989.] New, half leather binding. Minimal aging stains. Very fine condition.
