Letter from R. Shlomo Sofer Rabbi of Beregsaz, son of the Ketav Sofer - Two Signatures
Postcard with a letter handwritten and signed by R. Shlomo Sofer Rabbi of Beregsaz (Berehove), addressed to his friend R. David Yehuda Baum, a dayan in Neustadt (Vágújhely). Beregsaz, 1896. On the second half of the postcard (following the first signature), is an additional letter, addressed to R. Meir Tauber, handwritten by R. Shlomo Sofer, with his full signature: "Shlomo Sofer son of R. A.Sh.B.S".
The first letter pertains to efforts to obtain a rabbinical position for R. David Yehuda Baum: "I will fulfill his request to write to my brother R. Shimon Sofer, rabbi of Erlau, to intercede on his behalf… to obtain the desired position… and may G-d grant him success and help him speedily, by providing him an expansive place to sit in peace and tranquility, studying Torah and worshipping G-d… His friend, who seeks his wellbeing, Shlomo Sofer".
In the second letter addressed to the philanthropist, R. Meir Tauber (apparently, a brother-in-law of R. Baum), R. Shlomo acknowledges his donation to the Beregsaz yeshiva - "For the good he perpetrated to the precious boys who delve in Torah study", and extends his blessings: "And may G-d repay him fully with lengthy days and years of life, and unlimited blessing and success…".
R. Shlomo Sofer (1853-1930. Otzar HaRabbanim 18544) was the son of the Ketav Sofer. In 1879, he was appointed rabbi of Derecske, and from 1884, served for over 45 years as rabbi of Beregsaz. He authored Chut HaMeshulash and Igrot Sofrim, apart from publishing the books of his father the Ketav Sofer and many other books.
R. David Yehuda Leib Baum, author of Minchat Yehuda (1857-1918), recipient of this letter, was the son-in-law of R. Yisrael Isser Tauber disciple of the Chatam Sofer, who served as dayan of Neustadt (Vágújhely). In 1908, R. Yisrael Isser passed away, and his son-in-law R. David Leib Baum succeeded him as dayan in Neustadt.
