Manuscript, anthology and novellae on the Torah, holidays and Pirkei Avoth, homiletics and Jewisth ethics, and Hasidut. By Rabbi Chaim Hertz. Unsdorf-Preshov (1920-1927).
Pages 1-96: Notes on Parsha classes given by the Rosh Yeshiva of Unsdorf Yeshiva.
On page 96, there is a comment saying that the rabbi's teachings end there, and that all of the writing to follow are the writer's own novellae.
Pages 97-113: the writer's novellae. At the end of the volume - short anthology of teachings of Hungarian Geonim, great rabbis from throughout the generations, and Hasidic masters. Also contains teachings that the writer heard from Rabbi Moshe Chaim Lau, a Rabbi in Preshov.
Owner's signature on page preceding title-page: the writer - Chaim Hertz; Yisrael Ehrlich, Kosice.
On pages 1-3 - preface from 1926, in which the head of the Yeshivah tells the students, that apparently there is no need to lecture about morals to the students in Unsdorf Yeshivah, because it is obvious that the young men come to study in Unsdorf only to study the Torah as there are no gardens nor orchards to enjoy walks, like in other sities. The head of the Yeshivah continues to tell his students that he was offered positions as a Rabbi and Av Beit-Din, but he prefers to toil in the Yeshivah, in a city where he is not burdened with matters of the community.
The Rosh Yeshivah is Ha-Gaon Rabbi Yosef Yonah Horowitz, whom the writer names "Admo'r Ha-Avrech Shalit'a".The grandson of the Gaon Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg writer of "Be'er Shmuel" (died in 1918). In the text appear many citations in the name of "Admo'r Zi''a" author of "Be'er Shmuel".
On page 49 he writes about "the Zionists who wish to go to Eretz Yisrael not for Heaven's sake but rather the opposite to build teatere[=theatres] and so forth…"
In last pages, there is a sermon heard from Rabbi Me'ir Shapira, founder of the Daf Yomi Movement. This sermon was said the day after Rabbi Moshe Chaim Lau was appointed as Rabbi of that city. (Rav Moshe Chaim Lau, may the L-rd revenge his blood, was appointed in 1927 as Rabbi in Pressov Slovakia, before replacing his cousin Rabbi Meir Shapira in Pietrekov. His son is Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, Chief Rabbi of Israel and Tel Aviv-Jaffa).
117; 22 written pages, 23 cm. Fair condition, dry paper well kept with slight damages. Cover loosened and damaged.

Manuscript, collection of laws in alphabetical order, Tur Even Ha-Ezer. Copied from manuscript by Maha"ri Elgazi [after 1796]. Probably unknown manuscript that was never printed.
It seems that this was copied from writings by Maha"ri Elgazi in his copy of the Shulchan Aruch.
Under the letter "Lamed", it says "From Rabbi Mordechai Ha-Levi, emissary from from Jerusalem, who honored us with his visit in 1796, known as Rabbi Hameli"tz".
[ Rabbi Hameli"tz was on mission from Jerusalem in Italy during 1793-1795. We did not find where he was in Adar 1796. In "Shluchei Eretz Yisrael" by A. Ya'ari p. 552, it is assumd that on the way back from that journey, he crossed Turkey. It is therefore possible that the manuscript was copied there from manuscripts held by Rabbi Hameli"tz].
Kabbalist Rabbi Yisrael Ya'akov Elgazi (1680-1756, Otzar Harabbanim12226) born in Izmir to his father Rabbi Yom Tov. Came to Jerusalem before 1737. One of the heads of the Beit El Kabbalist Yeshivah at the time of Rabbi Gedalyah Hayon and the Rasha"sh. From 1755 served as Rishon Le-Tzion and Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. Of his books: Shalmei Tsibur, Shema Ya'akov, Ar'ah De-Rabanan and others. Author of the book "Hemdat Yamim".
Of his disciples are the Hid"a and his own son Maha"rit Elgazi.
Rabbi Mordechai Ha-Levi – Harav Hameli"tz, one of the most important sages of his generation, was appointed in 1805 as Rishon le-Tzion, and died in Constantinople in 1807. (See enclosed material).
30 pages, 21.5 cm. Poor condition, moth and mold damaged (omission of text only in last pages).
