Sefer Ohalei Shem, rules regarding the order of names of men and women in gets, by Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried, author of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch. Bound with the last pamphlet produced by the author of the Sefer Tiv Gittin—Rabbi Zalman Margaliyot.

This book was very controversial immediately upon its appearance because the author wrote in several places that he disagreed with the words of the Divrei Chaim by the Admor Rabbi Chaim Halberstam of Sanz. A serious campaign was waged by the gaon Rabbi Mordechai Eliezer Weber (Av Beit Din of Ada), who published Milchemet Chova, printed in Jerusalem in 1882.

The title page of this copy has a number of stamps of Rabbi “Avraham Moshe Babad”. 126 leaves. Lone worming holes, good condition.

Bound with the Sefer Shut of the author of the Tiv Gittin, Krakow 1880.

Rabbi Avraham Moshe Babad (1900-1980) was the son of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Babad, and a rabbi and chassidic rosh yeshiva in Bukovina and Israel, a student of the Gaon Rabbi Meir Arik of Tornov. He inherited his father’s position, and after WWII tried to immigrate to Israel but was sent to Cyprus in 1948 by the British, where he served as rabbi of the detention camp. After making it to Israel he was in constant contact with the Chazon Ish. Around 1952 he was appointed for a time as the Rosh Yeshiva of Yechel Yisrael of the Seret-Vizhnitz Chassidic community, led by his son-in-law Admor Rabbi Baruch Hager.
