Rare Complete First Edition of Chamisha Chumshei Torah with Renowned Commentary of Rabbi Samson Refael Hirsch


Chamisha Chumshei Torah with a German Translation and detailed commentary by Rabbi Samson Refael Hirsch of Frankfurt am Mein.
The crowning achievement of Rabbi Samson Refael Hirsch's literary work was undoubtedly his commentary on Torah.
In his commentary, Rabbi Samson Refael validates the complete consistency between the written and oral Torah. He expounds on each and every mitzvah, delving into its various components and reasoning.
In this way, Rabbi Samson Refael waged his battle against the heretics of his time who disregarded the oral Torah.

The impact of this incredible treatise was so far reaching, to the point where every home in Germany could be found in possession of a copy of this commentary.

The present five volumes were published over the course of eleven years. As a result, a complete set such as the present copy is exceptionally rare.
