"Controversy: Kerem Shlomo – Homburg 1738. First Edition. Illustration of A Phoenix in Flames
Kerem Shlomo. A philosophic-kabbalistic homiletical commentary by Rabbi Shlome Zalman Geiger [a prominent rabbi in Frankfort a. Main]. With approbations from Rabbi Moshe Chagiz, Rabbi Shmuel Hillman of Metz, and Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Auerbach.
Homburg 1738. Aaron Dessau print. [1], 49 ff. Very good condition.
Rabbi Geiger writes in the introduction that despite the ban placed by the rabbis of Frankfurth on publishing any books, whether new or old, without first receiving permission from the rabbis and bet din [because of the controversey surrounding the followers of Shabbatei Zevi and Nehemia Hayun] - Rabbi Geiger, however, received permission to print because his book was already in press and promulgation of the decree was postponed until Keren Shelomo was completed. And although Kerem Shelomo was initially well received, a declaration was made against the book in 1742, in conjunction with the rabbis of Frankfort withdrawing R. Geiger’s right to be chosen as gabbai; they interdicted him from serving as precentor in the Great Synagogue for nine years.
