LOT: THREE BOOKS, ONE OF WHICH HAS HANDWRITTEN NOTATIONS BY RABBI AVRAHAM TZVI KLEIN
A. Maharsha with his son-in-law's Mahadura Batra
Throughout the book are short glosses, and a table of contents at the end, all apparently in the handwriting of Rabbi Avraham Tzvi Klein.
Rabbi Avraham Tzvi Klein (1853-1927) was a student of the Ktav Sofer and of Rabbi Avraham Karpelis from Girba. His father-in-law was R' Moshe Hertzfeld of Silash. In 1975 he became Av Beit Din in Silash. He wrote Responsa Be'erot Avraham and left behind many unpublished manuscripts.
Inside the book is a paper with part of a letter sent by a Jew who had been exiled from Jerusalem. The letter, from 1916, during World War I, asks Rabbi Klein for monetary aid, for a second time, for his family that remained in the Holy Land. In addition, there is also part of a postcard, written in Hungarian, that was sent to the Rabbi when he was in Silash.
The book has ownership seals of Prof. Rabbi Shmuel Klein. He apparently inherited the book from his father, with the correspondence fragments inside.
Prof. Rabbi Klein (1886-1940) was a noted researcher in Land of Israel geography, who combined greatness in both Torah and the sciences. He received rabbinic ordination in the Beit Medrah for Rabbis in Berlin, while studying philosophy at the University of Berlin and afterwards in Heidelberg, where he received his doctorate. He was the Av Beit Din in Tulce, Bosnia, and afterwards in Novo-Zimaki. When Hebrew University was founded in 1925, he was appointed Professor and Head of the Holy Land Studies Institute.
