Bunch of manuscripts of responsa and novellae handwritten and signed by Rabbi Asher Lippman Zarchi, Radyvyliv (Poland), 1883-1886. Des Moines, Iowa (USA), 1894.
The responsa are part of Rabbi Asher's book of responsa on Yoreh Deah and Even HaEzer. These responsa deal with questions on the manner of writing the name of the city Des Moines in a get, a question of the acquisition a house which housed avodah zara to be used as a Beit Knesset [in that responsum, he copies a page from the responsum of Rabbi C. Y. Videravitz of Moscow, sent to him]. And more.
Rabbi Asher Lippman Zarchi (1864-1932), one of the foremost rabbis in the US was born in Kovne. He was a relative of the renowned Rabbi Shimon Zarchi, a rabbi in Tovrik, Vilnius and Jerusalem. Studied at the Volzhin Yeshiva and was ordained by leading Lithuanian rabbis. From c. 1883, he lived in the village of Radyvyliv (a village near Zembrov in the Łomża region), and according to these writings, it is apparent that he served in its rabbinate. In 1893, he reached the US and served in the rabbinate of Brownsville Brooklyn and in 1894, was accepted as rabbi of Des Moines, [Iowa]. In 1903, he moved to serve as Rabbi of Louisville, Kentucky. There he filled the position of rabbi with authority and his words were highly honored. He was one of the Charedi rabbis who founded the Association of Rabbis of the USA and Canada. See attached material.
Rabbi Chaim Ya'akov Viderowitz (died 1911), served as rabbi of the Lubavitcher Jews in Moscow. In 1893, he reached the US and served in the NY rabbinate for the Chassidic sector and was called "General Rabbi of the Sefardi community in the US".
68 written pages. Approximately 32 cm. Fair-poor condition, dark brittle dry paper, with many damages, but most of the text has been preserved.

Large volume of manuscripts, Ner David – Or Torah, commentary on the Torah, Bereshit-Vayera. By Rabbi Nathan David ben Rabbi Yisrael Rosenblum of Apta. 1946.
Commentaries "According to Pardess – commentary, simple meaning, pilpul, philosophy, remez, hidden Torah – compiled from hundreds of books and from things I have heard from my rabbis, and from what G-d graced me and I have given sermons before gatherings, wonderful words sweeter than honey". He signs his comments on the words of other commentaries with the pseudo "Adon" [David Nathan says].
In the author's introduction, he writes about the Holocaust of European Jewry, and the holocaust of Jewish books burned by the Nazis. He tells that in his city Apta there were hundreds of thousands of books in the old Beit Midrash (study hall), besides for the thousands of books in other Batei Midrash, "All were burned by the evil enemy and his abominable servants".
Rabbi Nathan David Rosenblum of Apta, lived in Buenos Aires after the Holocaust, publicized several articles in Torah compilations, where he states that he wrote a number of works on the Torah and on the 613 mitzvot, which apparently have not yet been printed. He corresponded frequently on Torah and kabalistic issues with Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch. Many letters sent to Rabbi Nathan David Rosenblum were printed in the Igrot Kodesh books from the years 1955-1958. In both of the first letters from 1955, Rabbi Rosenblum wrote the Rebbe memories of his acquaintance with Rebbe Shlomo Ber when in Rostov in 1920. See attached material.
[3 title pages and introduction], [555] pages, 34 cm. Good condition. Semi-leather binding, rubbed.
