Following the polemic of Aaron Shimon of Copenhagen’s Or HaYashar published in 1769, the present work deals primarily with the author’s position regarding the Cleves Get Controversy, a causes-célèbres that came to involve most of the great rabbinic adjudicators of the day. The work includes opinions by Rabbis Jacob Emden and Ezekiel Landau.
This copy with pp. 31-2 present, usually removed due to the severity of language against the Rabbinate of Frankfurt a/Main.
