Detailed
Description		    Novellae on several tractates by R. Simon Isaac b. Yehudah Zvi Ha'Levi Finkelstein (1861-1947), born in Vilyampolskaya Sloboda and emigrated to the U.S. in 1886 or 87. He held the rabbinical position in several American communities. In 1889 he served in Baltimore, followed by a short stay in Cincinnati, in 1899 we find him in Syracuse, by 1924 he had settled in Brownsville (Brooklyn, NY) where he lived until his demise. R. Finkelstein possessed a fine ability in Hebrew writing and was renown for his ability in delivering eloquent homilies. His published works attest to his erudite scholarship: Bet Yitzchak (St. Louis 1924); Bekurei Anuvim (Chicago 1899); Ein Simon (New York 1935).
