Description		    Discourses and eulogies by R. Abraham Eber ben Samuel Hirschowitz (1840-1924). The title page, printed in blue letters, states that Bet Midrash Shemu’el is discourses for the Days of Awe, more to be desired than silver and fine gold, words that enlighten as saphiere, from the great rishonim (early sages), a little from me (R. Hirschowitz) that I was graced with from He who graces man with knowlege in the holy works, to understand the words of the sages and their conundrums. There are six discourses on the Torah and part two is the eulogies. R. Hirschowitz was the av bet din in Toledo Ohio. A second title page is followed by a list of the sponsors who made publication possible, a preface from R. Hirschowitz, an approbation from R. Aryeh Leib Roshkas of Jerusalem, an introduction, and the discourses. Although the title page mentions six discourses Bet Midrash Shemu’el is actually comoprised of eighteen discourses, beginning with Shabbat Mevorchim Elul, followed by Parashat Nezavim, Rosh Hodesh that comes out on Shabbat delivered by R. Akiva ben Joseph, Shabbat Teshuvah, Tefillat ha-Derekh on Parashat va-Yetzah Yakov, etc. There is an additional discourse from R. Aryeh Leib Roshkas with its own pagination and then the eulogies, which has a title page and new pagination.
