Beit Vaad LaChachamim

The anthology Beit Vaad LaChachamim was published during the years 1922-1940, originally as a bimonthly and later as a monthly publication (from 1932 on, it began to appear less and less frequently). The anthology was edited by R. Yosef Shimon Pollak (1874-1944), a Belz Chassid who lived in Satmar, and it reflected the position of the "extreme" Orthodox Judaism that was prevalent in Transylvania-Maramureș and Galicia at the time. Important rabbis, dayanim, Torah scholars, laymen and yeshiva students from all over Hungary and beyond participated in the anthology. The first issue of year 1 (Sivan 1922) bore the approbation of R. Eliezer David Grünwald, the Keren LeDavid of Satmar. The periodical occasionally published polemical articles and denunciations of various personages, including the Rebbe of Ger (after he met in Jerusalem with R. Kook), the Minchat Elazar of Munkacs (during his dispute with the Rebbe of Belz, rabbi of the editor of the periodical), leaders of Agudat Yisrael and Zionism, and others. Year 8, issues 4-5 (Tevet-Shevat, 5689) were accompanied by a supplement, "Gilui Milta LeAlma", ten pages containing sharp polemics against the opponents of Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum's appointment as rabbi of Satmar.
