Sefer Divrei Emet, Part one. Rabbi Zvi Shimon Album. Chicago, 1904.
A polemic writing against the Chicago slaughter dispute of the Ridbaz. On title page appears a dedication by the author to Rabbi Aharon Mordechai Ha-Levy Ushinsky Rabbi of the Communities' Union in Pittsburgh.
The Ga'on Ridbaz [Rabbi Ya'akov David son of Ze'ev Wilovsky] Av-Beit-Din Sluck and Safed, moved to the USA and was appointed as chief rabbi of Chicago, where he encountered many obstacles while trying to change the city's slaughter system. In the introduction to his book Nimukei Ridbaz (Chicago 1904), the Ridbaz writes harshly against Rabbi Album and his activities concerning slaughter.
Rabbi Zvi Shimon Album (born 1849 in Tevrig Lithuania – died 1921), fought back in this book. Rabbi Album cited the passage that has been written by Ridbaz in the above mentioned introduction, and attacks using scholarly wit and talent the claims against him in general and the Ridbaz in particular. His main complaint being that he was deprived of income and the slaughter system that he maintained for 13 years was destroyed.
Historic document about Jewish communities in the USA. (on pages 50-51 appears a picture of the agreement between the Ridbaz and the slaughters of Chicago).
44 leaves. 24.5cm. Good condition, slight stains and few moth holes
