Pamphlet Ohev Mishpat, "Concerning disagreements in the town of Siget…", By Rabbi Feivel HaLevi, Rabbi of Brodshin. Lvov, 1888. "Published at the request of the Sepharad Community of Siget"
Between the years 1883 and 1888 a raging argument erupted between the orthodox members of the community who affiliated themselves to the Orthodox Department in Pest (Hungary), and the "Kahal Sepharadim" [Chassidics who pray Sephardi version], who were registered as a "Status Quo" Community after refusing to accept the authority of the Orthodox Department in Budapest, whose leaders belonged to the "Ashkenaz" Synagogue of the Chatham Sofer.
Letters supporting the "Sepharad Congregation" are printed in this book, from Rabbi Baruch Hager of Vishnitz, Rabbi Y. A. Ittinga of Lvov, the Netziv of Volozhin, and others. In retaliation, the orthodox community published a book "Open letter – Obligatary War" (Siget, 1888). [see appendix].
