Pi Shnayim - Chassidic Controversy in Hungary. Including a Letter from the Holy Rav of Liska the Rabbi of Rabbi Yeshayale of Kerestir
Pi Shnayim, Two letters that shed light on Techunat R' Elazar Lowy. Booklet against Rabbi Elazar Lowy after he succeeded in being appointed rabbi of Ungvar. [Ungvar, C. 1888.]
This booklet was published by the Chassidim, with his arrival in Ungcar, to reveal the true opinion of the new rabbi on Chassidism. (Regarding this controversy, refer to B'Ma'agalei Chassidim, Jerusalem, 2000, p. 88.).
The booklet includes a sharp letter written by Rabbi Elazar in 1862 against the Admo"r Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch of Liska (the rabbi of Rabbi Yeshayale of Kerestir) and against Chassidism - to disgrace his name and to reveal his opinions to the public. There is also a letter by Rabbi Hirsch of Liska addressing this controversy.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Elazar Lowy.
8 pp. Very fine condition, Uncut sheet.
