Description |
|
Meholat ha-Mahanayim, by R. Israel David ben Mordecai Margolies Schlesinger Jaffe (c. 1802–1864), is a defense of Orthodoxy. It is the first attempt in writing to explain the Orthodox position against reformed innovations such as relocating the bimah and other synagogue customs. Written in a clear and lucid style it was an infulential work.
R. Jaffe, a descendant of R. Mordecai Jaffe (Levush) and a student of the Hatam Sofer, was rabbi in Senice-Szenc in Slovakia, and after 1832, rabbi and av bet din of the Bazin-Pezinok community in the Bratislava (Pressburg) district. He was a leader in the fight against Reform and is the author of responsa. |
