FEINSTEIN, MOSHE.

Balshon

New York

1960 and 1961

Two volumes of responsa. Both volumes inscribed and signed by R. Moshe Feinstein to his cousin, Naphtali Hertzl. Both first edition.

Affectionately known as “Reb Moishe,” Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (1895-1985), Rosh Yeshiva for many decades of Tifereth Jerusalem of New York’s Lower East Side, was universally acknowledged as the halachic decisor par-excellence of the post-Holocaust generation. The recipient of these two volumes, Naphtali Hertz Kantrowitz, was a Rabbi in Mexico, whose father, R. Ya’akov Kantrowitz (Mahri”k, 1873-1946), was R. Moishe’s uncle.
