On the Torah and halakhic novellae by R. Zevi Ze’ev Wolf ben Solomon Goldberger. R. Goldberger was a grandson of R. Baruch Mordecai Frankel and a student of the Shevet Sofer in Pressberg and of the Kedushat Yom Tov in Sighet. R. Goldberger served as dayyan in bilka before returning to Beregovo. R. Goldberger was murdered in the holocaust.
Alef Zeira has several approbations under the heading Semikhot ha-Geonim, signed by R. Hayyim Eleazer Shapira, av bet din Muncas; and his father, R. Zevi Hirsch Shapira av bet din Muncas; R. Pinhas Hayyim Kalin, av bet din, Salish; R. Solomon Sofer, av bet din, Beregovo; R. Isaac Eizak Weiss, Admor of Spinka; and R. Nathaniel ha-Kohen Fried av bet din Aviarosh. Next is the introduction of R. Goldberger which he signs as a maggid in the old bet midrash of the Hasidic community and moreh zeddik in the city of his birth Beregovo. R. Goldberger mentions his grandfather, R. Frankel and praises his mother. The text follows in two columns in rabbinic type. The first part of the book is a series of discourses and novellae presented by the author to his teacher, R. Simhah Bunim Sofer, av bet din, Pressburg; R. Moses Gruenfeld, av bet din Huest; and R. Pinhas Hayyim Kalin, av bet din, Salish. They are followed by homilies on the weekly Torah portion, beginning with Bereishit and concluding with Pikudei. At the end of the book (39a-42a) are the names of the individuals whose support made publication possible and (42a-b) novellae on Bezah 11 so that the volume should not conclude with a blank page. |
