Manuscript, eulogy for R. Yisrael Deutsch Rabbi of Beuthen, by his brother R. David Deutsch Rabbi of Sorau. Gleiwitz (Gliwice, Silesia, Poland), 1853.
Eulogy for R. Yisrael Deutsch (1800-1853), Rabbi of Beuthen (Bytom, Poland), son of R. Mordechai Deutsch Rabbi of Zülz. He was staunch opponent of the Reform movement. Exchanged correspondence with the Ktav Sofer.
The present eulogy was composed (and presumably handwritten) by his brother R. David Deutsch (1810-1873), disciple of the Maharam Banet and the Chatam Sofer, rabbi of Myslowitz and Sorau (Żary, Poland), and a fierce opponent of the Reform movement.
After the passing of R. Yisrael Deutsch, his brother R. David published his writings in the book Zera Yisrael (Gleiwitz 1855). The book includes a eulogy for R. Yisrael in German, differing in contents from the present eulogy.
