Polemic manuscript pertaining to the words "VeYamlich Malchuteh" in the Kaddish prayer. [Yemen? 1920s].
Manuscript opens with article by Rabbi Yosef Tzubeiri, which is based on Kabbalistic matters and on an ancient manuscript of a prayer book which he happened to acquire. Later on a "answer" to his words is copied by an unidentified writer who harshly discounts his words: "ג€¦ struggled in vain to omit the word VeYimloch from Kaddish, and substitute the word VeYamlich which in his opinion is a fine wordג€¦ and he gathered and collected evidence from the sayings of the Sagesג€¦ to panic the peopleג€¦". The writer signs "so says one of the insignificant disciples of Rabbi Yosef Karo and Rabbi Yisrael Iserlin". [It is possible that the handwriting is of Rabbi Yosef Tzubeiri himself who also copied the words of the person who critiqued him]. Listed in different and more recent handwriting: "In the year 1928".
The Ga'on Rabbi Yosef Tzubeiri (1916-2000), among the rabbis of Yemen. Known for his opposition against the Dar Da'im Sect while he was still a young rabbi in Sana'a. Immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1944 and was appointed as rabbi of the Yemenite congregation in the city of Tel Aviv. Was greatly involved in the establishment of the prayer version of the Shamim congregation, and in his compositions he discusses at length the version of the word "VeYamlich" of the Kaddish prayer (apparently this manuscript was not printed).
Authored many compositions: VaYitzbor Yosef Bar Responsa, Knesset HaGedola Prayer Book, Emunat HaShem, Masoret Meduyeket, Emet Ve'Emuna, and more.
[18] leaves. 11 cm. Good condition, stains and wear. Detached leaves.
