Meshech Chochma – Riga, 1927 – First Edition
Meshech Chochma on the Torah. By Rabbi Meir Simcha Cohen of Dvinsk.
the author, Rabbi Meir Simcha HaCohen of Dvinsk (1843-1926), an exceptional Torah scholar and tsaddik was one of the most eminent leaders of Eastern European Jewry before the Holocaust. He served 40 years as Rabbi of Dvinsk (Denenburg, Latvia), together with Rabbi Yosef Ruzhin, the Rogochover (who served as rabbi of the Chassidic sector of the city). During his period, he began printing his monumental work the Or Sameach on the Rambam. three volumes were published in his days and the last volume was printed in Riga by Rabbi Menachem Mendel, Av Beit Din of Riga, who also edited and published Rabbi Meir Simcha’s work Meshech Chochma on the Torah. this book became popular throughout the entire Jewish diaspora and eventually grew into one of the most important commentaries on the Torah. In his well-known commentary on the end of Parshat Bechukotai, the author of the Meshech Chochmah foresees the impending destruction of European Jewry.
