Description |
|
Handbook for Jewish women in Yiddish briefly covering the family purity laws. The initial 22 pp. are a vitriolic attack on American rabbis who are lax in enforcing the laws of the religion. The booklet attacks reform and conservative Jews for their refusal to follow tradition and the Jewish halakha.
R. Elazer Meir Preil, was born in Birzai in 5641 [1881] (or 5638 [1878]). He studied in Slobodka and Kovno, served as a principal of the yeshiva of Seduva and taught in the yeshiva of Telz. In 5667 [1907] he traveled to London as an emissary of the Telz yeshiva and he was soon thereafter appointed as a rabbi in Manchester. He immigrated to America in 5671 [1911] and served as a rabbi in Brooklyn, Trenton and Elizabeth, remaining in the last city until his death. R. Preil was a rosh yeshivah at RIETS, the secretary of Agudath Harabbonim (and the head of its Vaad Hakashruth) and a founder of Ezrat Torah. He contributed to various rabbinic journals. He was a member of the advisory committee that published the first complete Talmud in America. He died in 1933. |
