Cherev Nokemet, "An open response to Mr. [!] Meir Dan Plotsky of Dvohrt on his lampoon called Sha'alu Shelom Yerushalayim", by "Yosef HaCohen" from the city of Vienna, with the pamphlet "Kalya Orev" by Rabbi Refael Gordon Av Beit Din of Vasylivka Grodno region. Seini, [1911].
On the title page is the author's stamp: "Refael ben Rabbi Shimshon Gordon Av Beit Din of Warka".
A sharp polemic composition, the rarest pamphlet of all the polemic pamphlets written by Shlomo Friedlander, the Yerushalmi Forger [who concealed himself behind fabricated names]. Most of the researchers of the Yerushalmi Forger did not see this pamphlet. Recently, a response to this pamphlet was printed from a manuscript of Rabbi Meir Dan Plotsky (see Tzfunot, 6, pages 67-70) asserting that most of the rabbis' letters in this book are forged (very evident by reading the pamphlet). Amongst the forged letters in this book is a "letter" by the Chafetz Chaim from Sivan 1911 in which he "writes" that "in my opinion, there is no doubt about this matter and the dispute over this matter is an act of the Satan".
40 pages, 20 cm. Brittle paper, good condition, cardboard binding.
