‎Tempi Felici‎

‎16mo, br. ed. pp.120. Molto più della guerra, delle bombe che riducono Budapest in macerie, molto più dei rischi che lui stesso corre in quanto ebreo, a occupare i pensieri di Józsi Beregi è il campionato di calcio. E poi trovare il modo di procurarsi quello che più gli manca: un po'di carne da mettere sotto i denti. Ma non dovrà sforzarsi troppo, giacché a offrirgli, con entusiastica e spontanea generosità, tutto ciò di cui ha bisogno saranno le donne, nessuna delle quali sembra poter resistere al suo fascino. Se "Epepe" si presentava da subito come un incubo, "Tempi felici" appare sin dalle prime battute come un divertissement - quasi uno schnitzleriano girotondo. Solo in una commedia, infatti, farsi crescere un paio di baffi può sottrarre un giovane ebreo alle terribili Croci frecciate nell'Ungheria dell'inverno del 1945; e solo in una commedia il giovanotto in questione può vivere le sei drammatiche settimane dell'assedio dei Sovietici, in una città squassata dai bombardamenti e ridotta allo stremo, come una parentesi beata, deliziosamente propizia agli amori clandestini, riuscendo a farsi proteggere, nutrire e coccolare da prostitute e borghesi, da giovani e da vecchie - e perfino da una miliziana fascista. Con una nota di Marion Van Renterghem.‎

Hoshen mishpat-- Commentaries. Kahanov (1817–1883) , was a “Jerusalem talmudist. He was born in Belorussia but after his marriage at the age of 15, settled in Petrovice where at the age of 18 he was appointed assistant to the local rabbi. Some years later, he became rabbi of Khaslavich, a city noted for its scholars. In 1864 he set out for Jerusalem. On his arrival, after a journey of six months, he was appointed head of the Ez Hayyim yeshivah, the most important in Jerusalem, remaining in this position until his death. Kahanov was remarkably progressive for his time and environment. He appealed for the founding of industrial enterprises, a daring proposal for that time. He even consented to the proposal of Sir Moses Montefiore to introduce the teaching of the vernacular, Arabic, in his yeshivah, but was obliged to abandon the proposal in the face of pressure from extremist elements. One of the first of the old yishuv to speak only Hebrew, he was also one of those who encouraged settlement outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, building a house for himself in Nahlat Shivah. Among his publications were Erez Hefez, on laws of terumah and tithes; Hukkot Olam, on mixed species; Mei Menuhot on the laws of the sabbath, to which was appended Palgei Mayim, giving rules for those traveling by ship on the sabbath; and Netivot ha-Shalom on the Shulhan Arukh. He applied himself particularly to the question of the application of the laws of the sabbatical year which had become of practical importance with the establishment of the Jewish agricultural colonies, and in this connection published Shenat ha-Sheva. The eulogies he delivered on the deaths of Baron Asher Rothschild and Sir Moses Montefiore were published. His Sha’alu Shelom Yerushalayim on the state of Jerusalem and its citizens was published three times. His will was published in 1968 together with a responsum on Jerusalem and a brief biography” (Alfassi in EJ, 2007) . OCLC lists 2 copies worldwide (Brandeis, Univ Col of London) . Ex library.

‎SHULHAN ‘ARUKH MI-TUR ORAH HAYIM‎

‎Original boards. 12mo. [5], 320 leaves. 19 cm. In Hebrew. Shulhan Arukh (“Set Table”) “A summary and codification of halakhah in brief and authoritative form, completed in Safed in 1563 by the Sephardic rabbi, Yosef Karo. First published in Venice in 1565 and reprinted many times in the succeeding decades and centuries, the Shulhan ‘arukh is an abridgement and distillation of Karo’s Bet Yosef—commentary and glosses on the medieval code Arba‘ah turim by Ya‘akov ben Asher. As is the Turim, the Shulhan ‘arukh is divided into four sections: Orah hayim, on Sabbath, holiday and daily commandments; Yoreh de‘ah, on dietary laws and various other categories such as mourning and purity; Even ha-‘ezer, chiefly on marriage and divorce; and ? Oshen mishpat, mainly on civil law. … Mosheh Isserles (Rema’; 1520? –1572) , who had composed his own commentary on the Arba‘ah turim called Darkhe Mosheh, expressed strong, albeit critical, support for adopting the Shulhan ‘arukh. He maintained that its widespread acceptance gave it halakhic status and prestige that should not be defied. Thus, a judge who ruled contrary to the Shulhan ‘arukh would be considered to have erred and his verdict would be annulled. To prevent the Shulhan ‘arukh from achieving authoritative status in Poland in its original form, Isserles added his own gloss to it, Ha-Mapah (The Tablecloth) , in which he presented dissenting Ashkenazic opinions. In this way, he increased the diffusion of Shulhan ‘arukh but also stopped the spread of the Sephardic tradition represented in it through the Polish halakhic world. Subsequent Polish and Ashkenazic traditions accepted the view that whenever Isserles dissented from Karo, judges would rule according to Ha-Mapah; only the absence of a gloss was considered to be agreement with the Shulhan ‘arukh. ” (Yivo Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe; Shulhan ‘arukh) . Printed on ragpaper, with decorative border on title page. Subjects: Karo, Joseph ben Ephraim, 1488-1575. Orah hayim.
