Handwritten Notebooks – Sermons and Novellae by the Rebbe of Ostrowiec, Rabbi Meir Yechiel Halstock – Have Never Been Printed
Two handwritten notebooks with sermons and Novellae by the Rebbe Rabbi Meir Yechiel Halstock of Ostrowiec . these Divrei Torah are from the time he was rabbi of Skierniewice.
A wonderful, holy item! To the best of our knowledge, the novellae in the notebooks (approximately 70 pp) have never been printed!
Handwritten notebook with various sermons and Novellae on Yoreh Deah. Handwritten by one writer (most likely a copying of the author's autograph).
The notebook begins with a long sermon for Shabbat Ha'Gadol by the rabbi of Skierniewice, the Rebbe of Ostrowiec, Rabbi Meir Yechiel Halstock, who in 1882, at the age of 28, was chosen to serve as the rabbi of Skierniewice.
The notebook is missing the first leaf. The sermon spreads over 26 pages and ends on leaf 15.
Then there is Novellae on Avnei Milu'im and after it, until the end of the notebook, Novellae on Yoreh Deah Siman 87. The notebook ends on leaf 27.
Condition: Good. Slight wear and tear.
Handwritten notebook, written by at least two writers. At the middle of the notebook, a title: "By the Rabbi of Skierniewice". The notebook contains Novellae on the tractates of Seder Nashim.
45 written pages. The first leaf of the notebook is numbered 5, yet begins at the beginning of a topic.
On the last page the stamp of "the young Meir Yechiel [Halstock[ of Skierniewice".
Condition: Good. Wear and tear in several leaves.
The Rebbe Rabbi Meir Yechiel of Ostrowiec (1851-1928) was one of the leading Rebbes of his generation. He studied with Rabbi Elimelech of Grodzinsk and Rabbi Yehoshua of Kutna. He corresponded with the most prominent rabbis of his time such as the "Sefat Emet", Rabbi Chaim Halberstam of Sanz and more. In 1882, at the age of 28, he was chosen to serve as the rabbi of Skierniewice and since 1889, for 39 years, served as the rabbi of Ostrowiec.
He was known for his piousness and asceticism and it is told that for forty years he used to fast continuously during the day, eating only a meager meal at night.
Among his disciples: Rabbi Kalonimus Kalman Shapira, the Rebbe of Piaseczno.
Most of his writings were never printed and were therefore lost.
