Halachic tshuva regarding a Heter Me’ah Rabbanim from Rabbi Moshe Ginz, addressed to Rabbi Chaim Brody, Rabbi of Prague.
“And, God forbid, I didn’t come to oppose you and your leadership…in Prague where there have always been Anshei Shem whose smallest person is deep nevertheless, but it is Torah and I must learn” – he asks Rav Brody to join a Heter Me’ah Rabbanim, and writes a tshuva regarding a gittin matter where he disagreed with a ruling of Rav Brody’s.
Rabbi Moshe Ginz-Schlesinger (1863-1925) was the student of the Shevet Mussar. He was known as a great matmid and gaon, especially in hilchot gerushin (divorce) and the names of men and women, and regarding such matters he was contacted from around the country. He was admired by the Admor Rabbi Yeshaya bar Moshe Steiner, and it is said that his drashot could take hours and that listeners would leave to have a meal and come back to hear the rest, except for Rabbi Yeshayle who would stay to hear the entire thing.
He died in 1928, two months before Rab Yeshayle, and they are buried next to one another.
