Collection of Documents Concerning the Book Netzer Matei, Sent to the Author, Rabbi Natan Tzvi Friedman
Lot of [12] documents sent to Rabbi Natan Tzvi Friedman following the publication of his book, Netzer Matei. Among the documents is a receipt from the prime minister's office and the ministerial bureau in which they thank the rabbi for his book.
Specifications: [12] leaves, official stationery, various sizes.
Background: Rabbi Natan Tzvi Friedman [1914-1993] was rabbi of Givat Shmuel and Shikun Heh in Bnei Brak.
In 1957, Rabbi Friedman published his book Netzer Matei, in which he adopted a lenient approach in various areas. A ruling which aroused opposition from a number of rabbis was written regarding a dispensation to close the main valve of the gas system on Yom Tov, which would cause extinguishing the flame after a few minutes, another of his recommendations was to make a blessing on saying Hallel on Yom HaAtzmaut. Rabbi Shmuel Wosner, Eidah Chareidit rabbi Pinchas Epstein, and rabbi of Jaffa Rabbi Yosef Tzvi HaLevi published a proclamation in which they expressed opposition to his dispensations, (afterwards, it was clarified that Rabbi HaLevi's signature was forged). On the other hand, the Rishon LeTziyon Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef, although he didn't side with Rabbi Friedman in his rulings, was not comfortable with this proclamation.
Before us are many documents connected to Netzer Matei. Among the documents: 'Office of the Prime Minister,' 'The Knesset,' 'Yad VaShem,' 'HaHistadrut HaTziyonit,' 'Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh.'
Condition: Overall very fine.
