Birkei Yosef. Sermons on the Torah by Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Posner. Unprinted.
Thick, handwritten volume that shall be called 'Birkei Yosef' - sermons on the weekly Torah portions of Sefer Bereishit and some on Shemot. It opens with a lengthy introduction. Autograph.
Rabbi Shlomo Zalman writes on page 58b: In order to express my appreciation, my mind has inspired me to compose some sermons on the weekly Torah portions in honor of my mother, my teacher, the true tzaddeket, ztz"l, and to call it 'Birkei Yosef.' [He apparently later changed his mind and called the eulogy for his father Birkei Yosef - refer to Toar Pnei Shlomo, p. 25.]
Also contains a lengthy eulogy for his mother, Mrs. Gittel, in which he writes of her praises at great length. [In Toar Pnei Shlomo, p. 28, he wrote that he called the eulogy for his mother Gil-Tal].
Page 32b details his family tree from his mother's side: 'Moledet Beit Califera.'
Refer to the Hebrew text for a brief biography of the gaon and tzaddik, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Landsberg ztz"l.
