Description		    Only edition of this commentary on the Torah and Haggadah by R. Benjamin Ze’ev ben David Zevi Sofer. This volume contains parts one and two of the work, the first part on Bereshit and Shemot, the second part on Vayikra and the Haggadah. The title page describes Halipot Simlat Binyamin as a desirable and splendid work, as “the boughs of goodly trees” (Leviticus 23:40) ethical discourses, “full of all goods” (Nehemiah 9:25) “sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb” (Psalms 19:11). There are approbations from R. Simhah Bunim ben Abraham Samuel Benjamin Sofer, R. Koppel ben Ezekiel Reich, and R. Sussman Eliezer ben Mordecai Fischel Sofer, followed by introductions from R. Sofer and his son, R. Ephraim Fischel Sofer, av bet din Teshum. The text follows in a single column in rabbinic letters. Part two, printed the following year, has its own title page and foliation. At the end of the volume are several drashot for zayin Adar, Shabbat ha-Gadol, and a commentary on the Haggadah without the text.

R. Benjamin Ze’ev ben David Zevi Sofer (1824-98) was born in Pressburg. He lived for many years in Kamaron where he was a merchant. He subsequently served as rabbi in Varshan, Adand, and Sangrot and afterwards moved to Pest where he served as a rav for the Shass hevrah. In his later years he returned to Pressburg.
