Shvilei David - Jerusalem [1862] First Edition. Copy of Rabbi Moshe Hamburger Segal of Pressburg, Student of the Chatam Sofer
Shvilei David, halachic novellae on Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer. By Rabbi David Zilberstein, Jerusalem, 1862, first edition. Handwritten signature of Rabbi Moshe HaLevi Hamburger נוומיסטה Segal of Pressburg.
Rabbi Moshe HaLevi Hamburger נוומיסטה [1801-1888] was born in the city נאוואמעסטה. He arrived empty-handed at the Chatom Sofer's yeshiva at a young age. He arose and became elevated to the point of being considered among the most beloved and excellent students in the yeshiva. His rabbi, the Chatam Sofer, called him "Moshe New City" - a translation of the name of his city נאוואמעסטה. This name stayed with him until his final day. He quickly became like one of the Chatam Sofer's family, and was one of the influential figures in his yeshiva. Known for his asceticism, holiness and extreme piety. Given that he was among those who composed the list of volunteers of "Shanim" for the Chatam Sofer while he was ill, the Chatam Sofer promised him longevity, which was realized, as he passed away at the age of 87.
The Chatam Sofer wrote in the certificate for Rabbi Moshe: "Moshe arose and elevated ascents in holiness, my student the wondrous young man Rabbi Moshe New City, learned and served with great diligence and depth ... Did not turn to arrogance but to grace ... decided according to halacha, filled his hand with many issues and halachas, understood at a glance, covered intensively ... all that I have said in his honor before the sages of the people of G-d ...."
In the year 1857, he immigrated to the Holy Land and settled in Jerusalem, where he disseminated the teachings of his rabbi. Rabbi Moshe Schick of ברעזאווע requested in his letter that he write the customs of his rabbi the Chatam Sofer.
