Lengthy, 4-sided handwritten and autographed teshuvah by Harav Yosef Leib Sofer, Av Beis Din of Paks and author of Yalkut Sofer. This teshuvah discusses an old practice of dividing the mitzvah of bris milah into two—with one person performing the actual circumcision and the other removing the foreskin— as well as discussion on having a gentile carry the baby to shul on Shabbos for his bris. In this teshuvah, Harav Yosef Lev references his father’s words in Sefer Hamakneh who quotes his grandfather Harav Yoel Unger, author of Shu”t Riv”a.
