Halachot Gedolot, following the order of the Babylonian Talmud, by R. Shimon Kayyara, with glosses and novellae by R. Avraham Shimon Traub of Keidan. Warsaw: R. Yitzchak Goldman, 1874.
Copy of Rebbe Rashab of Lubavitch – signature and stamp of the rebbe on the title page: "Shalom Dov Ber Schneersohn"; "S.B.S.". Additional signature on leaf 2: "Shalom Dov Ber", and signature extending over leaf 7 of first sequence and leaf 7 of second sequence: "Shalom Dov Ber".
Rebbe Shalom Dov Ber Schneersohn – the Rashab of Lubavitch (1861-1920), fifth rebbe of the Chabad dynasty. A prominent leader of Russian Jewry. Son of Rebbe Maharash of Lubavitch, and son-in-law of Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak of Ovruch (son of the Tzemach Tzedek). After the passing of his father the Maharash in Tishrei 1883, he at first refused to serve as rebbe, yet with time he began to lead the Chassidim, and in 1894 he was acting as rebbe in all senses. The Lubavitch Chassidut expanded considerably in his times. In 1897, the Rashab founded the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva in Lubavitch, and later opened several additional branches of the yeshiva in other towns. In 1916, during WWI, he fled Lubavitch together with the yeshiva students, and settled in Rostov, southwestern Russia. He lived there until his passing in Nissan 1920, and there he was buried.
Rebbe Rashab was one of the prominent leaders of Orthodox Jewry in Russia. He reached the peak of his communal activity at the famous rabbinical conference in St. Petersburg in 1910, and at the preliminary conference held in Vilna 1909, where his leadership abilities and great impact were revealed. He was completely devoted to the needs of the Jewish people and to improving its material and spiritual state. Rebbe Rashab was one of the first to fight the Zionist movement. His articulate and eloquent letter against Zionism, which was published in the book Or LaYesharim (Warsaw 1900), caused a great uproar at the time. His writings in Halachah were compiled in the book Torat Shalom (Brooklyn 2013). His profound Chassidic essays were published in twenty-nine volumes, in several editions. The Rashab also composed the famous booklets of guidance for the students of the Tomchei Temimim yeshivot: Etz HaChaim, Kuntress HaTefillah and Kuntress HaAvodah.
16; 296 pages. 27.5 cm. Dry paper. Good condition. Stains. Stamps. New binding.
