Description		    Only edition of this multi-part work on aggada and festivals and novellae on the Talmud by R. Hayyim Ephraim ben Abraham Balajty (1877-1940?). Hamudei Ephraim is in two parts, the first on timely aggada and festivals, discourses and eulogies, and explanations of the torah readings with the sayings of Hazal. The second part is novellae on sugyot in the Talmud. There are approbations from R. Koppel ben Ezekiel Reich, R. Isaiah Zilberstein, and R. Mordecai Leib Winkler. Next is the introduction, in which each paragraph concludes with the alternating names of Hayyim and Ephraim, followed by the text, in a single column in rabbinic type.

R. Balajty served in Tarnalia. He was a student of R. Samuel Ginz, av bet din of Abra’aham. From 1895 he was dayyan in Tarnalia. It appears that he was murdered in the Holocaust. R. Balajty was also the author of Ashel Hayyim (Turnov, 1935).
