Diyukim al Ha'Torah, explanations and commentary on the Torah in German. By Rabbi Pinchas Wolf. Two volumes, Vol. 1 – Bereshit and Vol 2 – Shemot. Köln (Germany), 1925-1930.
At the beginning of the first volume is the stamp of the author's son-in-law, "Israel (Theo) Feuchtwanger" and signatures of "Lea Wolf" (his wife, the author's daughter). Apparently, these volumes belonged to the author himself and he added the glosses and wrote the leaves (in German) which were placed between the sheets of the book with comments and additions to the book (approximately 25 leaves).
* Enclosed are two sermons in the author's handwriting (in Hebrew), one is a sermon for Shabbat Shuva in 1948 and the other is a sermon for Shabbat Ha'Gadol.
Rabbi Pinchas Wolf (1875-1968), a native of Köln, Germany, was a disciple of Rabbi Ezriel Hildesheimer and of Rabbi David Zvi Hoffmann. Rabbi of Köln and its province (composed of 50 communities), he served in other capacities in the leadership of German Jewry before the Holocaust. In 1937, he moved to Eretz Israel, settled in Petach Tikva and served there as rabbi of the Mekor Chaim community. He wrote a number of works, including a book in Arabic on the Book of Yonah for which he received his PhD in philosophy in 1900.
Two volumes, Bereshit: [5], VII; 8-806 pages. Shemot: [1], 574 pages. 21 cm. Brittle paper. Good condition, spotting and wear. Worm holes. Worn bindings. + Two sermons: Shabbat Shuva: [14] pages, written on one side; Shabbat Ha'Gadol: [15] pages, written on one side. 20 cm. Good condition, spotting, glued tears.
