Short booklet (3 pp.) printed in Klausenburg in 1926, during the split in the community due to a controversy about the Shochatim.
Under the title "Mecha'a Gedola" (Strong Protest), the writers, who identify themselves as "a group of Torah learners", describe the development of the affair from their point of view. "Since we have heard that some people insist and question the warning issued by the Beit Din prohibiting eating from the Shechita of the Sephardic Shochet and Bodek Reb Aharon Wurzburger…"
The Hassid rabbi, Rabbi Aharon Wurzburger served as the chief Shochet of the Hassidic ("Sephardic") community.
Among others, it is written: "in the Beit Din included also the Dayan Rabbi Avraham Moshe Stein, who is now the Dayan of the Sephardim, and he signed the prohibition".
Rabbi Avraham Moshe Stein (1875-1944) was the student of the rabbi of Klausenburg, Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner. He served as a Dayan and teacher in Klausenburg. During the controversy in Klausenburg, he supported the "Sephardic" community of Hassidim, as opposed to Rabbi Glasner's position on the matter, and was appointed to be their Rosh Av Beit Din and Dayan and Moreh Tzedek.
