A long and signed halachic responsum, for permitting an agunah, whose husband and children perished in Auschwitz to remarry. By Rabbi Ya'akov Segal Leibowitz. Budapest, 1949.
Rabbi Ya'akov Segal Leibowitz (died 1980), son in law of the Rabbi Chaim Yehuda Deutsch of Mako, served as rabbi of Kapisch (Hungary). After the holocaust, he was the head of the Orthodox Beit Din in Budapest that mainly dealt with permitting agunot of she'erit Ha-Pleita, holocaust survivors, to remarry, and as he wrote in the introduction to his book of responsa, Mishnat Ya'akov: "When I was the Ra'avad (head of the Beit Din) of permitting agunot in Hungary from 1945 until the end of 1950, and with Heaven's help heterim were found for women agunot and men, approximately five thousand without making even one mistake". He lived his later years in the US where he was known as one of the greatest poskim. He was among the heads of the Union of Rabbis in the US (a rabbinical organization affiliated with the circles of Satmar and Hungarian emigrants) and he was known as the Rabbi of Kapisch.
