Manuscript, Chidushim on Choshen Mishpat – Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik Chaver

Manuscript, Chidushim on Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat, by Ga’on Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik Chaver.
In his will the author made reference to these Chidushim and requested that his sons print them: “Manuscripts of my estate, i.e. additional two sections on Shulchan Aruch; Even Ha’Ezer and Choshen Mishpat, if my sons would be able to print them that would be good…”. These writings were the basis for his printed responses on Even Ha’Ezer [under title “Binyan Olam”] by Mosad HaRav Kook, Jerusalem 1988. In introduction to edition of Mosad HaRav Kook it is stated that they intend to publish an additional section containing Chidushim and responses on section Choshen Mishpat, however this section was not yet printed. Upon comparison with the manuscript in Mosad HaRav Kook, it appears that the composition on Shulchan Aruch which came into their possession is missing in its middle, and the pages presented here are a completion to this manuscript. Handwriting is very similar to handwriting of Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik Chaver, and apparently it is a manuscript of his son, Ga’on Rabbi Yosef Chaver (passed away in 1876) Av Beit Din of Jedwabne and author of many books, who dealt with printing of books of his great father.
Ga’on Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik Chaver (1787-1853, Otzar HaRabbanim 11168), transmitter of Kabbalistic Torah of Vilna Ga’on “second mouth of Vilna Ga’on” – at age fourteen, Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Shklov (disciple of Vilna Ga’on), already recognized him as a vessel capable of absorbing wisdom of Kabbalah. At a very young age he already became famous as a genius and immense proficient Torah scholar in all facets of Torah, and served as Av Beit Din of several prominent congregations: Prozina, Razini, Vawkavysk. Between 1837-1849 served in rabbinate of Tykocin and in 1849 moved to Suwałki where he served in rabbinate for approximately four years. Exalted genius, among leading Torah giants and rabbinical authorities of his generation. Completed the Shas 60 times.
