Sidrei Taharot on Ohalot by the Admor of Radzin, a book that was very controversial – with stamps of the Gaon Rabbi Meir Shapira, and Yeshivat Chochmei Lublin. Pietrekov 1903. First edition.
On the cover is the stamp of the library of Yeshivat Chochmei Lublin, and stamps of Rabbi Meir Shapira, one from when he was Rabbi of Pietrekov and one when he was Rabbi of Sanik. Sidrei Taharot is a collection of articles from our sages on the Shas Bavli and Yerushalmi, Torat Kohanim, Sifrei Rabba and Sifrei Zuta, Mechilta, Zohar, Pesikta, Pesikta Atikata, Toseftot, Midrashim, Baraitot, Avot d’Rabbi Natan, Tana deRabbi Eliyahu Raba v’Zuta, Aggadat Bereishit, and more. With two commentaries, a long one clarifying halacha through pilpul (like the Tosafot) and a short one interpreting the halachot (like Rashi). By the Admor Rabbi Gershon Chanoch Hanich Lainer of Radzin. As is known, Seder Taharot doesn’t have a gemara, either in Bavli or Yerushalmi (except for masechet Nidda). This composition is organized almost like a gemara, with a mishnah followed by a “gemara”—words applying to the Mishnah are collected from all of Chazal’s literature, and around them are the commentaries of the author after the fashion of Rashi and Tosafot on the Gemara. With the Masoret HaShas and Ein Mishpat. The book was written when the Admor was 33 years old, and when the first section of the book on masechet Keilim (Jozefof 1873) was released, some were extremely excited by it—the Shoel u’Meishiv and others wrote very exhuberant endorsements for it. On the other hand, the Beit Din in Vilna, led by Rabbi Betzalel HAKohen, came out against the author since some would come to think of it as part of the Talmud. As a result of the opposition, from the second section onwards the bottom of every page had printed the sentence “collected from the sayings of the Tana’im and Amora’im.” | This section was printed and featured endorsements from sages from all over: Rabbi Yitzhak Elhanan Spector of Kovna, the Rishon LeZiyyon Rabbi Avraham Ashkenazi, Rabbi Shimon Sofer, the Malbim, Rabbi Abdallah Somech, and Rabbi Shlomo Bechor Hutzin, the Shadai Chemed, and more. Printer: Shlomo Belchatovsky. [8] 546 pages. 32cm. Good condition.
