Regulations of the Dierschke Community Handwritten and Signed by the 'Yalkut Sofer' - the Av Beit Din of Paks

Regulations of the Lomdei Torah D'Kehillat Dierschke Society. 12 regulations handwritten and signed by the head of the Society, the renowned gaon Rabbi Yosef Leib Sofer, author of Yalkut Yosef, from the famous family of scribes - the most prominent dynasty in Hungary after the Chatam Sofer's dynasty. Interesting document.

Document in which Talmudic scholars joined together and took strict regulations upon themselves in order to be diligent in their Torah study. The regulations are backed by sanctions and fines for noncompliance with these regulations that the Society's members accepted upon themselves, and they signed on this. The first of the signatories is the gaon Rabbi Yosef Leib Sofer, followed by another 13 of this sacred society's members. The other names have not been examined. We will emphasize that the society's study schedule was for after their days' work, whether said work be in a Torah position or otherwise. From careful study of the strict regulations the Society's members took upon themselves, one can understand how that special generation in Hungary sprouted such giants in Torah and fear of G-d.
