Two leaves handwritten by Rabbi Shimshon Raphael Hirsch. German.
Polemic article written by Rabbi Hirsch (autographic writing, with erasures and corrections), opposing the composition written by the Jewish-German lawyer Hermann Makower on the subject of the status of the Jewish communities in Prussia.
Rabbi Shimshon Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888), great leader of Orthodox Jewry in Germany and founder of the secessionist Orthodox community, disciple of the Chacham Bernays of Hamburg, and Rabbi Yaakov Etlinger author of Aruch La’ner of Altona. From the early age of 22, Hirsch served in rabbinates of Oldenburg, Emden and Nikolsburg. In 1850, the eleven Orthodox families residing in Frankfurt am Main requested that he lead the new Orthodox Adat Yeshurun congregation. Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch was the first to attempt to prevent the rapid spiritual decline of German Jews and single-handedly reestablished Jewish Orthodoxy in Germany. His authority in Halacha and Torah imbued him the indisputable position of leader of Orthodox Jewry in Western Europe. He was active in establishing congregations in various cities throughout Germany and educated an entire generation in Torah and Mitzvot by means of books and articles he published (Igrot Tzafon, Chorev and more).
2 leaves [4 written pages]. 28 cm. Fair condition, wear and tears.
