Detailed
Description		    Only edition of these discourses on settling Erez Israel and the the Temple site there by R. Menasseh ben Ezekiel Jonah Grossberg. Degel Menasseh is comprised of five discourses also addressing the rebuilding of the temple, residing in Jerusalem, also living in Mizraim in our times. Appended to the work are several responsa on various subjects, such as removing the beard in other ways than shaving. The back cover is in German.. R. Menasseh ben Ezekiel Jonah Grossberg (c. 1860–1927) was a rabbinical scholar. Born in Trestina, Russia, Grossberg led a wandering life, copying and publishing Hebrew manuscripts from libraries in Berlin, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Munich, and other cities. In the first decade of the 20th century he settled in London, copying manuscripts for European scholars at the British Museum and at Oxford. His many publications included a Pentateuch commentary by Jacob of Vienna (Peshatim u-Ferushim, 1888, repr. 1967) from a Munich manuscript; Meshullam b. Moses' Sefer ha-Hashlamah on tractates Berakhot, Ta'anit, and Megillah (from a Hamburg manuscript, the first with an introduction by H. Brody (1893, repr. 1967), and the last as an appendix to Peshatim u-Ferushim); Hizzei Menasheh (1901), a manuscript commentary on the Pentateuch by various medieval scholars also containing Jonathan of Lunel's novellae on Horayot (1901); Sefer Yezirah (1902); David b. Levi's Sefer ha-Mikhtam on Megillah (1904); Megillat Ta'anit (with an extensive introduction, 1906); and Seder Olam Zuta (also with introduction, 1910). Grossberg also published responsa and various halakhic treatises.
