Collection of letters and documents, by or about Rabbi Shraga Feivel HaLevi Holzberg. [Including letters concerning Rabbi Kook at the time he served as Av Beit-Din of Jaffa]
Among the letters:
· A letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi "Yehuda ben Yitzchak Akiva Lubatsky, Russia-Poland", to Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook Av Beit Din of Jaffa. Paris, 1906. Another signature appears in the margin: "Eliyahu Weinstock".
the letter deals with the assets of Rabbi Shraga Feivel Holtberg in Jaffa, near the property of Zerach Barnett [the Neve Shalom neighborhood]. Rabbi Yehuda Leib Lubatsky (1850-1910), rabbi of immigrants from Russia-Poland and Romania in Paris was known for his polemic book "Ein T'nai B'Nisu'in", printed by Rabbi Chaim Ozer in Vilna.
· Two letters written in 1910 by Rabbi Shraga Feivel Holzberg, one comprising four pages, in which he writes about the Shmita polemic, opposing Rabbi Kook. Holzberg quotes excerpts in the name of the Maharil Diskin and his disciple Rabbi Naftali Hertz HaLevi, who permitted the "sale" of Eretz Israel to a non-Jew for the duration of the Shmita year.
· Several letters (in German), by Rabbi Wolf Pappenheim, to Dr. Yitzchak Refael Holzberg, containing memories as to the wisdom and fear of Heaven of his father Rabbi Shraga Feivel and the great esteem he was held by his teachers, Maharil Diskin and Rabbi Yisrael of Salant during their stay in Paris. Vienna, 1920s. [Rabbi Binyamin Wolf Pappenheim (1850-1938), disciple of the Ktav Sofer, head of the Charedi community of the Schiff-Shul in Vienna and one of the founders of Agudat Yisrael. In the 1870s-1880s, he spent some 15 years in Paris, where he befriended Rabbi Shraga Feivel Holzberg].
Rabbi Shraga Feivel HaLevi Holzberg (1841-1917), was the son of Rabbi Shlomo Zalman HaLevi (of Kolno, Lomza region) and son-in-law of Rabbi Chaim Simcha HaLevi Soloveitchik (c. 1830-1921, brother of the author of Beit HaLevi). In the 1870s, he travelled to Manchester, England, and in 1878, when the Maharil was exiled from Lomza to Paris (accompanied by his son-in-law Rabbi Chaim Simcha Soloveitchik), Rabbi Shraga Feivel travelled to Paris to serve as his shochet according to all the stringencies of the Maharil Diskin. Rabbi Shraga Feivel stayed in Paris for many years and was one of the closest disciples of Rabbi Yisrael of Salant.
In 1897, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and was one of the founders of the Ashkenazi community in Jaffa. the Maharil Diskin initiated the appointment of Rabbi Naftali Hertz HaLevi as Rabbi of Jaffa. After the death of Rabbi Naftali Hertz, Rabbi Shraga Feivel was among those who supported appointing Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook to the Jaffa rabbinate. Rabbi Shraga Feivel travelled many times to Paris, earning him the nickname “Rabbi Feivel Pariser”. His son was Dr. Yitzchak Refael Etzyon-Holzberg (1885-1981). See Items 320, 383.

Arpilei Tohar, short inscriptions of holy emotions, by Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook. [Jaffa, 1914. Printed by A. Ittin].
this book was canceled by the author in the middle of printing. Only Pages 1-80 were printed, no title page. On the 29th of Iyar 1914, Rabbi Kook wrote to his son, Rabbi Zvi Yehuda about the printing of this book and its content: "…I was overtaken by a yearning to print some of my writings, as they are, and I have begun to print [them] by Ittin titled Arpelei Tohar, several sheets…I hope that the thoughts will be blessed as they are without arrangement, perhaps their success will stand out precisely because the lack of arrangement…". (Igrot HaRa'ayah, Vol. 2, Jerusalem 1946, pp. 292-293, Siman 687). He wrote another letter to his son Rabbi Zvi Yehuda, on the 21st of Sivan 1914, in response to editing notes sent by his son: "…I sometimes correct the language as much as I can, but I have not yet attempted to omit things, perhaps I have not yet come across this type…". (Igrot HaRa'ayah, Vol. 2, p. 277, Siman 693).
this book is one of the first works written by Rabbi Kook, about G-d's service and the revival of the Jewish People in the days of Ikvete D'Meshicha (preceding the coming of the Messiah), which is awakening Jews, even those who are still far from the Jewish religion. the thoughts within are compatible with the next books authored by the Rabbi, in which he gave public expression to the depth of his thoughts and to his churning spirit. this book was printed by a spontaneous decision; apparently, the letter indicates that this decision was not final. Some say that Rabbi Kook sent the sheets to a few of his close disciples and friends and after hearing their opinion, the book was canceled. the main opposition came from his son, Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook, who was aware of the hidden meaning of these writings and of the public polemic which was liable to arise due to his father's supportive attitude towards the national revival movement.
A.M. Haberman, in his list of books which were not completed at printing (HaKol Talui B’Mazal Afilu Sefer, Areshet, Vol. 3, 1961, p. 126, no. 88), writes: “this book contains matters of mussar and holiness, and the printing was apparently interrupted because the generation did not merit the things written therein”. Indeed, the book did not merit reprinting until 1983, when it was published by Machon HaRatzia, in a new revised edition [censored and with additions).
80 pages, 22.5 cm. Fair condition, wear and detached leaves. Few worm holes to last leaves. Torn Bristol binding.
Rare! A book canceled in mid-printing.
