Lot 232
Nezed Ha-dema’ – Memel, 1862 – Interesting handwritten inscription
Nezed Ha-dema’ is an open admonition by Rabbi Israel son of Rabbi Moshe Segal from Zamosc. [Memel], 1862. Second edition.
On the back of the title page, there is an interesting handwritten inscription which relates to the book’s content. The book is written in a literary prose style and there have been different opinions concerning what purpose it was meant to serve. Some believed this book was a polemic against the Chassidic movement and its leaders. However, the Chabad bibliographer H. Lieberman proved that the polemic isn’t against the Chassidic movement, rather a denouncement of that generation’s shortcomings, essentially in matters of Bein Adam La-chavero (Jewish social code).
