Rambam Zemanim - Glosses by the Author of Avnei Nezer - In the handwriting of his Grandson Rebbe David of Sochaczew
Mishne Torah L'HaRambam, Sefer Zemanim. Warsaw, 1881.
Many handwritten glosses on page margins. The glosses are copies of glosses and notes written by the first Sochaczew Rebbe Avraham Borenstein, author of Avnei Nezer and Eglei Tal. These marginalia of the Avnei Nezer on the Rambam were copied by his three grandsons, sons of the author of Shem M'Shmuel, and were printed in the book "Gilyonot Avnei Nezer al HaRambam (Jerusalem, 1995), 20 years ago. This is the original copy, in the handwriting of his grandson Rebbe David Borenstein author of Chasdei David.
Rabbi David Borenstein, the Chasdei David was born in 1876 in Nasielsk to his father, the author of Shem MiShmuel, son of the Avnei Nezer of Sochaczew. At the age of 20, he was appointed Rabbi of Wyszogród, there he headed the Yeshiva Gedolah for young men. After World War I, he moved to serve in the rabbinate of Tomaszów and Zagórz. After the death of his father in 1926, he was ordained Rebbe and was one of the leading Rebbes in Poland. He died in the Warsaw Ghetto in Kislev, 1942. All his descendants perished in the Holocaust. His many books and most of his writings on Talmudic treatises in Halacha and Aggada were lost in the travails of those times.
Rabbi Avraham Borenstein – the first Sochatchov Rebbe (1839-1890), a leading Torah genius and tzaddik in his times. Son-in-law of Rebbe Menachem Mendel "The Seraph of Kotzk". While he served as Rebbe to thousands of Chassidim, he headed a yeshiva where he taught his special method of studying Torah [as he writes in the introduction to his books, he received his study method from his father-in-law, Rebbe Mendeli of Kotzk]. Many of Poland's Torah scholars were his close disciples (the Chelkat Yo'av, Rabbi Aryeh Zvi Frumer, the Gaon of Koziegłowy, Rabbi Avraham Weinberg, author of Reshit Bikurim, and others). His Avnei Nezer and Eglei Tal responsa on the melachot of Shabbat are basic study books in the area of Torah scholarship and halacha.
