Tomekh Kavod - A polemic against the “Chatam Sofer”

Tomekh Kavod, by Rabbi Yehonathan ben Alexander Halevi (Alexandersohn), Frankfurt A.M. [1847]. Second edition with additions.
The author, Rabbi Yonathan from Schwerin, located near Posen, came to Hungary in 1831 and was appointed rabbi of Tshaba, which is located near Miskolc. After a short while, members of the community realized that their rabbi was light-headed and did not respect the Jewish Law and Ethics.
They summoned the rabbis of that generation as well as Rabbi Elazar Lev from Szantov. The Rabbinical Court put together by Rabbi Elazar Lev concluded that the author was to be removed from the rabbinical office.
Rabbi Yonathan turned to the Chatam Sofer for help (the Chatam Sofer had sided with those in favor of Rabbi Yonathan’s removal from the rabbinical office).
Alexandersohn sent numerous letters to rabbis worldwide in an attempt to clear his name. Some of them supported his plea and actually believed that he had fallen victim to false claims. This conflict considerably embittered the end of the Chatam Sofer’s life (see enclosed material).
In his book, Alexandersohn gathered many letters among which he brings ones from Rabbi Akiva Eiger (who writes that Alexandersohn shouldn’t be teaching unless he learned Torah for another three years), The Chatam Sofer, Rabbi Meir A.S., Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Heller from Zamoshtz and many more rabbis.
