Auction 44
Lot 216:
Shut by Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Orenstein, Av Beit Din of Brisk, Risha, and Lviv. With notes “Milchamot Aryeh” by his son-in-law, Rabbi Aryeh Leib Brody. [2], 170 leaves. Based on bibliographic listings there seem to be 2 leaves missing at the end—not from the content of the work. Old binding, leather spine, much moth damage on the binding, moth holes, stains, overall condition of the content itself is fair to good.
Important stamps: “Pinchas ben HaRav Tzaddik Baruch”, see below. And his son: “Haim ben Zion ben Rahatz Pinchas.”
Admor Rabbi Pinchas Hager of Bursa was the son of Rabbi Baruch Hager the Imrei Baruch of Vizhnitz, and the brother of Admor Ahavas Yisrael of Vizhnitz. He married his uncle’s daughter (Rabbi Shmuel of Skohel). He also served in the rabbinate of Viseu and Sighet.
Additional stamp from his son who survived the Shoah, Rabbi Haim ben Zion Hager (Rabbi Pinchas’s eldest son, Rabbi Alter Menachem Mendel, the son-in-law of his uncle Rabbi Yisrael, succeeded him. He was murdered in the Selish ghetto or, according to a different testimony, in Auschwitz, hy”d).
