Ohel David – Author’s Glosses & Unpublished Annotations from the Boruch Taam!
Ohel David, chiddushim on Masechtos Sukkah, Yoma, Chagigah, and Pesachim, authored by the renowned
Gaon Rav Dovid Deutch, Av Beis Din of
Ir Chadash, Vienna (1820) – First Edition.
This sefer contains
lengthy handwritten glosses from Ha
Gaon HaAdir, Rav Baruch Frankel-Teomim, Av Beis Din of Leipnik, author of the
Baruch Taam, reflecting his immense esteem for the
Ohel David. While the
Boruch Taam was known to annotate his seforim, these
extended glosses are truly exceptional!
Never Before Printed
According to
Sefer HaGilyonos (published
5782 by
Machon Zichron Aharon), which compiled known glosses of the
Baruch Taam, the
annotations in this volume do not appear there or in any other known source. This marks a
remarkable discovery in the Torah world in general, and particularly for those who cherish the Torah of the
Baruch Taam!
The Boruch Taam’s Glosses on Ohel David – A Discovery!
This sefer serves as a
continuation and supplement to the
Ohel David,
Vienna (1819). The
Baruch Taam’s well-known pilpul on the first volume of
Ohel David is recorded in
Baruch Taam, “Asei Docheh Lo Sa’aseh” (p. 17, Jerusalem edition, 5768):
"Later, I saw in Ohel David that he addresses the kashe of the Turei Even… but I rejected his words…”
Now, we uncover a
fascinating continuation of the
Baruch Taam’s insights on
Ohel David!
Author’s Glosses – A Chiddush in the Name of the Maharam Ash
Additionally, the sefer contains
handwritten glosses from the author, Rav Dovid Deutch. In one place
(15a), he references his
son-in-law:
"…And my son-in-law, Harav M’ Meir, Ner Yair…”
This refers to none other than the
renowned Gaon, Rav Meir Eisenstadt, the Maharam Ash, Av Beis Din of Ungvar, zt”l.
