Long letter from the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Hirsch Mannheimer the 'Ein HaBedolach', in it he discusses the Kashrut of a Daayan that was discqaulified by the Hrh"k the 'Kedushat Yom Tov' of Sighet.

Long letter about the laws of actual Chalitza, by the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Hirsch Mannheimer, elite disciple of the Chasam Sofer, author of Ein HaBedolach ab"d Werbau and Ungvar, Posek and leader of the Orthodox Jewish community in Hungary. 

The letter was written to the Dayan of Ungvar 'the famous Rav in Torah and Fear of Heaven Rabbi Chaim Yosef Schwartz Dome"tz here.'

At the back of the letter the recipient wrote 'This was sent to me regarding the chalitza by the unqualified Daayan.

The known Dayan, was unqualified by Moron Hrh"k the 'Kedushat Yom Tov' of Sighet, after rumors of transgressions about him. 

Although, on the letter, the famous Gaon ab"d of Ungvar and author of Ein HaBedolach' claimed that the ruling the Kedushat Yom Tov disqualified the Dayan, even though he did not receive witness, his intention was only to disqualify him from being permanent Dayan and Rav in the community, which can be problematic to the people of the community.

Though he is acceptable, as temporary, and of course for chalitza which can be done by laymen too, and there is no need for another chalitza.

מצבת קבורת

שר וגדול בישראל

אבי הרועים

הארז אשר בלבנון

גאון עולם וצדיק נשגב

מו"ה חיים צבי מאנהיימער

אב"ד ור"מ בקהלתנו

בן מו"ה דוד יהודה זצ"ל

חיילים הגביר וגבורתו הראה בתורת אל

ידיו היו אמונה ורועה אבן ישראל

ישרו ואמתו וצדקתו כהררי אל

מוסר ה' ותוכחתו למד לבני ישראל

צאנו צאן קדשים נהל על מי התורה

בחכמה הנהיגם ופתח למו שערי אורה

יתענג בצל שדי על כנפי איום ונורא

עלתה נשמתו שמים ליל י"ז תמוז תרמ"ו לפ"ק
