Hundreds of leaves handwritten by R. Yochanan Sofer, Rabbi of Erlau: Leaves of Torah novellae, letter drafts, various lists, printed proofreading leaves and typewritten leaves with his handwritten notations.
R. Yochanan Sofer, the Erlau Rebbe (1923-2016), was among the eldest rebbes of our times and head of Mo'etzet Gedolei HaTorah of Agudat Yisrael. All his life, he toiled in Torah study with tremendous devotion and authored books of Torah novellae and halachic rulings, earning him fame as a leading Torah scholar in Eretz Israel. Besides writing his books, he also exerted much effort in editing books authored by his venerated predecessors as well as other books written by Hungarian Torah scholars. He began his tenure as rabbi and posek in Budapest after the Holocaust which claimed the lives of his illustrious father, R. Moshe Sofer Rabbi of Erlau (1888-1944), author of Yad Sofer, and his elderly grandfather R. Shimon Sofer Rabbi of Erlau, author of Hit'orerut Teshuva (1850-1944, son of the Ktav Sofer). After he moved to Eretz Israel, he established the Ohel Shimon-Erlau Yeshiva and the Erlau Chassidic community - one of the largest post-Holocaust Chassidic populaces in Eretz Israel.
Hundreds of leaves and notes, size and condition vary. Housed in an elaborate fabric and cardboard box.
