Description		    Responsa on Orah Hayyim and on Yore De’ah by R. Joel ben Moses David Ashkenazi (c.1804-1882). The title page describes it as the first edition, on Orah Hayyim and Yore De’ah, for which there is a blessing, to respond to those who inquire the word of the Lord this is halakhah. It describes R. Ashkenazi as av bet din in Zaltshov, author of Toldot Adam tractates and Be’er Sheva on al ha Torah. He was av bet din in Tolcsva (טאלטשווא) and in his later years in Safed. The book was brought to press by the author’s grandson, R. Israel Ashkenazi and brother, R. Zevi Hirsch Ashkenazi. It is dated twice, once with Hebrew letters, and with the verse “his ways are as of old הליכות עולם לו (653 = 1893)” (Habakkuk 3:6). The responsa has an approbation from R. Hanania Yom Tov Lippmann Teitelbaum, and introductions from R. Ashkenazi’s son R. Asher Anshel Ashkenazi and his grandson and brother, who published the book. There is a detailed listing of the contents of the responsa followed by the text, set in two columns in rabbinic type. Responsa Mahar“i Ashkenazi is comprised of thirty-four responsa on Orah Hayyim and forty-eight responsa on Yore De’ah.
