Description		    Halakhic novellae and responsa on Shulhan Arukh Yoreh De’ah by R. Reuben Hayyim (Heinrich) b. Zevi Dov Klein (1884-1942) rabbi in Vranov Nad Toplou. The author writes on the title page that these novellae and responsa are those that “I have cherished and brought up” (Lamentations 2:22) with the help of “he Rock of my salvation” (cf. Deuteronomy 32:15, II Samuel 22:47). There are approbations from R. Joseph Elimelekh Kahana, R. Solomon Zalman Ehrenreich, and R. Samuel Fihihrer. There are dedications, beginning with one to R. Klein’s wife “blessed shall she be above women in the tent” (Judges 5:24). There is an introduction R. Klein and a caution against misunderstanding the use of terms such as nocri and akum, and then the text. Mateh Reuven is set in two columns in rabbinic type. It is comprised of two hundred sixty six simanim covering Yoreah De’ah. In the text R. Klein references and addresses the codes and responsa of the major works on the topics he covers. At the end of the book is an index. The Author perished in the Holocaust, murdered by the Nazis near Lublin.
