summary

Responsa no. 62 is of unusual content, a sympathetic view seeking to align Halachah with the challenges of the physically handicapped. The author was a disciple of the Maharsha”l (Shlomo Luria) and a contemporary of R. Falk, author of the Sem”a (see responsa nos. 12, 13, 22). His son was also a great scholar and composed the super-commentary Nachlath Ya’akov on Rashi also published in Cracow, 1642.
