Lot 53:
Kuntres Tel Talpiyot, ""גרון ת"ח ורבנים השואל ומשיב… בשמעתתא ובאגדה ובספקות להלכה ולמעשה הנצרך לשעתיה לכל המבקש דבר ד’" – the journal was established in 1892 and was published twice a month in Wietzen, Hungary and after the World War, in Budapest. Edited by Rabbi David Zvi Katzburg and proofread by Rabbi Yeshaya Zilberstein, Av Beit Din of the city. From there it was distributed to the entire Jewish Ashkenazic Diaspora, from Russia in the east to Holland and England in the West and even to America. Leading rabbis wrote articles for the journal.
These are volumes of issues that were published during the years 1895-1925. The layout and version of title page vary slightly over the years.
