In 1942 he dreamt of the holocaust that would soon destroy European Jewry. He consequently left the rabbinate and came to Jerusalem, where he established Yeshivat Divrei Chaim – Chakova. During the holocaust years the Rebbe was in the US, where he was very active in thee Va'ad Hatzala Organization for rescuing European Jews. After the war he returned to Israel, later he returned to the US where he established his Beit Midrash in the East Side, New York. Died 1964.

Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat, Part One, Chapter 1-132. Vienna, 1801.
Leaf 5 bears the signature of Rabbi Shlomo Hass, and the title-page is signed by Rabbi Feivel Floit. [Additional Signatures of Rabbi Mordechai ben R' Zalman Knepelmacher].
Hundreds of glosses of varied lengths, [most of which were probably written by Rabbi Shlomo Hass; others are written by Rabbi Feivel Floit, disciple of the Chatam Sofer].
Rabbi Shlomo Hass, (d. 1847, Otzar Harabbanim 18411), Rabbi of Dreznitz, among the great halachic authorities of his generation – the generation of the Chatam Sofer and the K'tav Sofer, Rabbi Yehuda Asad and Rabbi Shlomo Kvech. His book Kerem Shlomo, on Orach Chaim, Yoreh De'ah and Even Ha'ezer, was printed in Pressburg between 180-1845, with the approbation of the Chatam Sofer. Part of his book on Choshen Mishpat was printed from the manuscript in Jerusalem. (In the publishers' preface, they write that they assume that the Kerem Shlomo used the Shulchan Aruch printed in Vienna, 1761 – which indeed is his Shulchan Aruch which we have).

Sefer Maginei Eretz, Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, Rabbi Yosef Caro, with Magen Avraham and Magen David. Amsterdam, 1732.
Two title-pages, the first illustrated with figures and crowns.
On the second title-page a deleted inscription, under it writer's signature: Salach Avraham Salach. With a curled signature [similar to the well known signature of his grandfather Mahari Salach].
Many handwritten glosses, in fine Yemenite handwriting, by Rabbi Salach ben Rabbi Avraham Salach Ben Maharitz. In the end of many glosses appears the writing "Ritz", "Maharitz" or "Moz".
The responsum with original glosses in Maharitz's own handwriting (Amsterdam edition 1754) was found in Eretz Yisrael, and parts of these glosses were recently published in new Shulchan Aruch-Shtilei Zeitim editions. The handwriting in front of us is an exact copying. Some of the glosses in front of us do not appear in the original manuscript. [It is possible that these are copyings from a different edition, or added by the grandson, who was also a brilliant Halachic and Kabbalic scholar. This possibility is reasonable based the contents of the glosses, as they seem to be an edited copying].

When he was 43 he was appointed Chief Rabbi and Av-Beit-Din of all Yemenite communities. His authority was accepted in all of Yemen with no doubt. A leading halachic authority, determined and restored the custom of Yemenite rabbis to rule generally according to the Rambam Shulchan Aruch and the writings of the Arizal. Up to this day many Yemenites follow the rules of Maharitz.
On the third leaf signature "Shalom Ben Aharon Iraki". On top of the title-page ownership inscription and signature in faded and deleted ink: "Yosef Yichye Al-Adani".

Leaves from the printed book Kehilot Ya'akov, on Tractates Chulin and Bechorot, by Rabbi Ya'akov Ysrael Kanievsky. Bnei Brak, 1976.
Early draft, printed on only one side, with corrections in the handwriting of the author, the Rabbi of Horonsteipel (the Steipler).
The Kehilot Ya'akov used to toil throughout many nights in writing his books, making correction after correction so that the matters would be easily understood by yeshiva students. Even after he gave his novellae to be printed, he would sometimes make corrections on the early drafts, thinking that there was yet room for improvement. (Toldot Ya'akov, pg. 209).
On the present pages, there are some parts on which slight corrections were made, and some parts which were erased and written again. The erasings were sometimes done in the Steipler's special method – he would make a frame around the word, in order not to erase words of Torah.
On verso of title-page there are notes of different questions addressed to the Steipler, and interesting stories.
Approx 43 leaves, 35 cm. Printed on one side of the leaf, corrected in blue pen. New binding.
