Handwritten and autographed letter replete with Torah novellae by the Daas Sofer – Harav Akiva Sofer, Av Beis Din of Pressburg. This letter was written in 1902 when the Daas Sofer was a young man of only twenty-four. His autograph mentions his father who was still alive at the time.
“Hakatan Akiva ben Hagaon Mharsh”b (Simcha Bunim) shlit”a.” Letters by the Daas Sofer from this period of time are exceedingly rare.
The Daas Sofer Hagaon Harav Akiva Sofer (1878-1960) served as Av Beis Din of Pressburg, perpetuating the golden chain of his ancestors the Chasam Sofer, Ksav Sofer, and Shevet Sofer as Rabbanim and Roshei Yeshivah in Pressburg. Already as an adolescent, he began delivering shiurim in the Pressburg Yeshivah, and in 1907, he succeeded his father as Rav of the city. In 1940, he journeyed to Eretz Yisrael where he rebuilt his yeshivah in Yerushalayim. His written legacy includes Shu”t Daas Sofer on Shulchan Aruch and Daas Sofer on Torah and Festivals.
