Description		    Only edition of these collected responsa and discourses by R. Ezra Tawil. Appended to Et Sofer is Matza Hayyim, additional discourses, by R. Hayyim Tawil, R. Ezra Tawil’s son, who brought the book to press. Et Sofer is comprised of twenty-two responsa on a variety of subjects and discourses on Rosh Ha-Shanah, Shabbat Zikhor, Shabbat ha-Gadol, Shabbat Calah, Parashat ve-Yetzei, Shemot, ve-Areh, Talmud Torah, Mussar, Tefillin, and parashat Bereshit. R. Ezra Tawil (1830-90) was a respected scholar and av bet din in Aram Soba. He studied Kabbbalah with R. Samuel Morsaya and R. Solomon Safdeye. Their collaboration resulted in Emet me-Erez, published by the yeshiva Avahat Shalom (Jerusalem, 1988). R. Tawil’s name appears on a list of eminent scholars in Aram Soba who received a stipend from a fund to support worthy individuals who dedicated their lives to Torah study.
