Letter with Responsum Handwritten by Rabbi Moshe Nachum Yerushalimsky Av Beit Din of Kamenka and Kielce
Long letter of responsum, in the small delicate handwriting and with the signature of Rabbi Moshe Nachum Yerushalimsky [Kamenka?, c. 1899].
the responsum is regarding the names for Gittin, sent to Rabbi Yosef Galanti Ra'avad of Chechelnyk, (Podolia).
Rabbi Moshe Nachum Yerushalimsky (1855-1916, Otzar HaRabbanim 15589), a leading posek in his times. In his youth, he already corresponded with leading Torah scholars of the previous generation and the responses he received appear in the Sho'el U'Meshiv books by Rabbi Y.S. Natanson, Shem Aryeh by Rabbi E.L. Blachover, Sha'arei De'ah by Rabbi C.Y.L. Sasnitzer and other books of responsa. His also wrote responsa on the serious issues of agunot and issur v'heter. [At the age of 17, the Sho'el U'Meshiv included him in a "Heter of Me'ah Rabbanim"]. In his youth, he traveled to Sanz and the author of Divrei Chaim was very attentive to him.
In 1880, at the age of 25, he was appointed Rabbi of the Kamenka community in the Kiev region, a position he held for more than 25 years. He was famous throughout the Jewish Diaspora and was considered one of the leading Torah authorities of his times, especially in the area of names for Gittin (divorce bills) and the laws of terefot. He dealt at length with questions that incited the Torah world such as Corfu etrogim (Be'er Moshe Part 2, end of Kuntress Birkat Chachamim) and machine matzot (Heshiv Moshe Siman 27). In 1899, he became Rabbi of the Ostrolenka (Ostrołęka) community in Poland (Lomza region) at the same time he served as Rabbi of Kamenka. Later, he moved to serve as Rabbi of Kielce, Poland and was one of the prominent leaders of Polish Jewry. Also served as honorary president of institutes in Eretz Israel, Jerusalem, Safed and Tiberias. He authored Minchat Moshe, Leshad HaShemen, Birkat Moshe, etc.
this responsum was printed in Siman 11 of his book Be’er Moshe printed in 1901. Apparently, it was written in the beginning of his service in the Ostrołęka rabbinate. See enclosed material.
