Lot 253:
Notebook of curricula of lessons on Masechet Nedarim given by the Admor Rabbi Shalom Noach Berezhovsky of Slonim at the Beit Avraham Slonim yeshiva, which he founded in Jerusalem in 1942. The manuscript includes 7 sets of lessons in 39 pages, with lessons that did not appear in his book Netivot Shalom and with changes and additions in other lessons.
The opening of the manuscript has a note “shiurei HaRam on Masechet Nedarim, summer 1948, Jerusalem”. At the end is written: “completed the lessons said by the Ram at the Beit Avraham yeshiva, Jerusalem.” The content quotes in places: “it seems right to explicate on things that I heard from the Rabbi Grash”, referring to the Gaon Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Hirschowitz hy”d, the Rosh Yeshiva of Torat Chesed and grandson of the Gra Gordon, head of the Telz yeshiva. He was also known as the Ilui of Tolson. This is a very pretty manuscript, almost no erasures, organized nicely. We could not identify the handwriting even though it is easy to see that it’s a real talmid chacham.
39 pages. Very good condition.
