Books of Rabbi Aryeh Leib Ha’Cohen Heller, author of Ktzot Ha’Choshen – books which immediately upon their publication have become the most fundamental books of Talmudic study and were printed in dozens of editions.

The book Kuntres Ha’Sfekot (pamphlet of uncertainties) by the brother of the author is included with the book.
