Pressburg. The Eve of Matan Torah 1823. Two Pages with Torah Innovations Handwritten by Maran the Chasam Sofer
Torah innovations handwritten by Maran the Chasam Sofer on the eve of Shavu'ot - Zman Matan Torah, 1823.
Just before the festival of Matan Torah, on the eve of Shavu'ot, Maran the Chasam Sofer sat down and wrote these two pages of Torah innovations on tractate Shabbat leaf 131, on the Sugya of מכשירין שאפשר לעשותם בערב יום טוב.
These Torah innovations refer to several Jewish festivals: Shavu'ot, Yom tov of Passover, Yom Tov of Sukkot, Sabbath and Motza'ei Sabbath and Yom Tov in general.
The Segulah of manuscripts by Maran the Chasam Sofer is well-known and many Tzaddikim of following generations greatly praised them:
The holy Gaon Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ehrenreich of Shamloy wrote that all his words, sermons and Halachic and Aggadic innovations are full of sanctity and purity, Yiras Shamayim and Chassidus.
The holy Gaon the Maharam Benet said that looking at the Chasam Sofer's scripts is a Segulah for Yiras Shamayim.
And so it is told: Once, a halachic responsum from the Chasam Sofer was received by the Maharam Benet. He studied it for some time. When those around him asked whether he had found something requiring additional study in the responsum, he answered with a no yet added that he was studying the responsum because just looking at it was a Segulah for Yiras Shamayim (Foreword to Derashot Chasam Sofer, page 6).
The holy Rav Rabbi Yoel of Satmar also stated that just seeing the Chasam Sofer's script was a Segulah for Yiras Shamayim.
These holy Divrei Torah in particular indicate the Yiras Shamayim, sanctity and Chassidus of the Chasam Sofer.
