Responsum Letter from Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Glick - Tolcsva, 1895
Lengthy letter handwritten and signed by R. Avraham Yitzchak Glick Rabbi of Tolcsva. Tolcsva, 1895.
Halachic responsum pertaining to the laws of vows and agreements sealed with a handshake. The letter discusses the case of a young man who shook on an agreement with his wealthy uncle, that the latter would help him with his wedding expenses, in exchange for learning Torah in the uncle's merit his entire life. This responsum was printed (with many changes) in the book of R. Avraham Yitzchak Glick - Responsa Yad Yitzchak (part II, section 73. See enclosed photocopy).
R. Avraham Yitzchak Glick, author of Yad Yitzchak (1826-1909), renowned Torah scholar and leading Hungarian posek. He served as rabbi of Tolcsva for over 50 years (from 1858) and was considered one of the foremost Halachic authorities in Hungary. Many rabbis took pride in the semicha they received from him, and in some Hungarian communities, a semicha from him was a precondition for rabbinical appointments. He studied the writings of his grandfather, the Maharam Banet (father of his father-in-law, R. Yeshaya Banet, rabbi of Kalov) extensively, and published his books: Responsa Parashat Mordechai, and others.
