Detail Description
Eulogy for R. Simeon Sofer (Mikhtav Sofer) son of R. Moses Sofer (Hatam Sofer) by R. Isaac Sofer. R. Simeon Sofer was a scion of the preeminent rabbinic Sofer (Schreiber) family. R. Simeon Sofer (1820–1883) was appointed rabbi of Mattersdorf in 1848 and in 1861 of Cracow, where he served until his death. He founded Mahzike Hadas, the Orthodox organization in Galicia, to battle the maskilim. With this end in view he strengthened relations with the hasidic rabbis of Belz and Zanz. From 1878 he was a member of parliament in Vienna. His books on halakhah and homiletics were published under the title Mikhtav Sofer (2 vols., 1952–55). R. Simeon died on Monday, 16 Adar Sheni 643 (March 15, 1883) (actually a Sunday), and the eulogy was delivered on Erev Rosh Hodesh Nissan. R. Kornitzer was R. Sofer's son-in law
