Or Yisrael [responsa]

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. See M. Carmilly-Weinberger, Censorship and Freeedom of Expression, pp. 168-70.
