Em L’Mikra: Original Manuscript of Rabbi Shmuel Aharon Rubin, Av Beis Din of Krotoschin, Disciple of Rabbi Chaim of Sanz

Manuscript of an extensive treatise authored by Rabbi Aharon Shmuel Rubin, Av Beis Din of Krotoschin, expounding on all cases of kri and ksiv in Tanach.

At the beginning of his sefer, Rabbi Shmuel Aharon disagrees with Radak’s opinion in his introduction to sefer Yehoshua, where he explains that kri and ksiv came about as a result of the scribe’s copies errors and our travels throughout exile.

In his sefer, Rabbi Shmuel Aharon explains the reason behind each kri and ksiv and shows that their source is sacred and not the result of mistake.

The sefer was first published in Bilgoraj, 1939, but did not survive. It was later reprinted in Bnei Brak, 1974, based upon this manuscript.

Rabbi Shmuel Aharon Rubin was a disciple of Rabbi Aryeh Devi Ilai and a Chassid of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, who in turn respected and admired him. Rabbi Chaim wrote that Rabbi Shmuel Aharon was "complete in Torah and yirah, "and expressed his love for him in his endorsement to sefer Beis Aharon. Part of the extended Bobov dynasty are counted among Rabbi Shmuel Aharon’s descendants. Rabbi Shmuel Aharon authored Beis Aharon on Gittin along with other important treatises.
