Practical Halacha Booklet. Shemitta Fruit. Denounces Boris Schatz. Jerusalem, [1910]
"Regarding shemitta fruits that were sinfully grown, are they permitted…" A collection of letters from Rabbi Yaakov Dovid Ridvaz shlit"a sent from Safed to the Jerusalem sages. Jerusalem, [1910]. Only, rare edition.
[2], 7 leaves.
The letters were written in the wake of a meeting in the Rishon L'Tzion winery held by Boris Schatz, founder of Bezalel, together with his colleague Mordechai ben Hillel HaKohen and others. During the meeting, they mocked the prohibition of working the fields during shemitta.
The Ridvaz was one of the leading rabbis of the time, and he writes the stark truth in his letters, asking that if anyone ever gave him even one penny he should publicize it in the papers. He then relates about the 'shnorer gesheft' (the begging business) of Schatz and friends) Most of the letters discuss Talmudical issues and halacha relating to the consumption of fruits that were grown during shemitta through actively working the fields of Eretz Yisrael. However, the introduction relates entirely to Boris Schatz and his friends. With halachic decisions of batei din in Eretz Yisrael.
Original, blank paper jacket. Tears without loss of text. Moderate condition.
