17 Autographed Leaves Filled with Handwritten Chiddushim, Penned by The Aderet, Rabbi Eliyahu David Rabinowitz Teomim.
These leaves are filled with complex and intricate Torah chiddushim, handwritten by
the saintly Aderet zt”l.

To all the pages, headlines testify to the insights discussed in these pages: "Kezayit, Shlichut, poetry, Eino Tzarich, Bo Bekasher velo bepsul".

The renowned Rabbi Eliyahu David Rabinowitz Teomim [5603-5665]: one of the great rabbis in his generation, rabbi of the communities of Ponevezh and Mir in Lithuania, and in his later years, he became the rabbi of Jerusalem. He authored numerous Torah books, many of which were pioneering in their fields, unique in their kind. His renowned son-in-law was Rabbi Yitzchak HaKohen Kook.

He authored more than a hundred books, most of which were not printed. (Some of the books were copied by him in several editions). Recently, there has been a revival of interest, with some publishers bringing out some of his writings, but still, the majority of his writings have not been printed.

The insights before us have not been checked as to whether they were printed or not.

[17] leaves. 22 cm. Very good condition, with slight stains.
