Letter of Responsa by Rabbi Shmuel Zalman Weinberger, Rabbi of Marghita (Margareten)
Long autograph letter (2.5 pages) signed by R. "Shmuel Zalman [Weinberger] son of Mahari'atz". [Marghita, beginning of the 20th century].
Halachic responsum sent to R. Alexander Moshe Weiss, regarding the custom of a man who is called to the Torah at Shabbat Mincha donning a tallit. At the top of each page of the responsum is the acronym of B'Ezrat Hashem.
R. Shmuel Zalman Weinberger (1863-1933) was a prominent Hungarian rabbi. Son of the famed Torah scholar the Mahari'atz (R. Yehoshua Aharon Zvi Weinberger, 1815-1892, HaChatam Sofer V'Talmidav, pp. 177-179), he succeeded him after his death in the Marghita rabbinate becoming an important Hungarian Torah leader. [He was appointed to the rabbinate although he was less than 30 years old and in spite of the fact that he was the youngest of the sons of R. Yehoshua Aharon Zvi Weinberger by the behest of R. Naftali Hertz'ke of Újfehértó (Ratzfert) who promised a cure to a seriously ill person if R. Shmuel Zalman would be granted this position]. He served as rabbi of Marghita for over 40 years and also headed the yeshiva gedolah in the city. He was famed as a venerable scholar as well as for his piety and holiness. He was close to Chassidism and adopted many of their rites (although he was a disciple of the Pressburg Yeshiva which was an Ashkenazi yeshiva). He was friendly with the rebbes of Shinova, Belz, Vizhnitz and Satmar.
