An extensive commentary to the Sifra with an essay on hermeneutics. JIME PLEASE PLACE THE TEXT BELOW PRIOR TO LOT 1: -PRINTED BOOKS -. INCLUDING: The Halacha and Responsa Collection of the Late Herman Winter. (B. Tzelem, 1902. D. New York 1969). Herman Winter, scholar and teacher, was a passionate collector of Classical Halachah and Responsa Literature. He spent his childhood in Debreczen and was brought to New York in August, 1914, two weeks prior to the outbreak of World War I. After receiving degrees from Columbia University in 1925, he taught mathematics at the prestigious Stuyvesant High School, and served as Principal of the Rabbi Jacob Joseph School, both in New York City. He maintained his own scholarly pursuits, often in tandem with Dr. Shabbes Friedman, and his life- long friend and mentor, Rabbi Professor Samuel K. Mirsky. Together with Mirsky, Winter was instrumental in bringing the Daf Yomi Talmud system to the attention of the Young Israel Movement, and in the 1940’s, published a number of small booklets in this connection. As President of the Young Israel of Boro Park, Brooklyn, he frequently lectured on Jewish matters utilizing the resources of his excellent Library. With a keen historical eye, Winter collected the entire panorama of Responsa and important Halachic Literature. Indeed, his Library covers a full spectrum, from the editions of the Teshuvoth HaGe’onim, Rishonim, 16th- and 17th-century Turkish, Polish, German and Italian codifiers through to decisors of the 20th century. In addition to the Library’s importance for its wealth of rabbinic law, Winter fully appreciated the historical value of Responsa as a primary source of enlightenment concerning the simple daily life of Jews over the centuries. Many of his books were purchased from Europe’s great scholarly booksellers - particularly Rabbi David Frankel - and contain important scholarly provenances.
