Macholot HaMachanayim – Responsa on Prayer Customs and Synagogue Practices – By Rabbi Yisrael David Margolies Yaffe of Pazing (Known as Rabbi David Sered) – Pressburg, 1859 – First Edition
This book is considered one of the first works to combat the Neo-Orthodox (Neolog) reforms. It specifically addresses the custom of placing the bimah (reading platform) in the center of the synagogue. The author was a disciple of the Chatam Sofer. Notably, the famous phrase coined by the Chatam Sofer, "Chadash assur min haTorah" ("Innovation is forbidden by the Torah"), was originally stated in a responsum concerning the placement of the bimah in the synagogue.
