Handwritten Drashah for 7 Adar, 1874 by
Rabbi Yirmiyahu Low
___
“I delivered this drashah in the holy congregation of Ihel on 7 Adar, 5734.” This lecture, handwritten by Rabbi Yirmiyahu Loewe, Av Beis Din of Ihel, includes words of praise of the glory and greatness of Moshe Rabbeinu. In the past, it was customary for Rabbanim of Jewish congregations to deliver a drashah on the 7th of Adar, the yahrzeit of Moshe Rabbeinu.
Rabbi Yirmiyahu Loewe (1811-1874), Av Beis Din of Ihel and author of Divrei Yirmiyah, was one of the great Hungarian sages of his generation. As a son of Rabbi Binyamin Wolf Loewe, author of Shaarei Torah, and grandson of the author of Shemen Rokach, he absorbed Torah and wisdom from his illustrious forebears. In 1844, he was appointed Av Beis Din of Magensdorf, and subsequently Av Beis Din of Verbov before succeeding his father as Rav and Av Beis Din of Ihel in 1856. Rabbi Yirmiyahu Loewe endeavored greatly to improve the lot of Hungarian Jewry. His written legacy includes Divrei Yirmiyah on the Rambam and Masechtos in Shas as well as several famous drashos.
To the best of our knowledge, this drashah has never been printed.
