Unpublished Teshuvos!


Handwritten by the Divrei Malkiel. 

Lomza, 1909-1910


A handwritten volume of halachic responsa written by Rabbi Malkiel Tzvi HaLevi Tannenbaum, Av Beis Din of Lomza, author of ‘Divrei Malkiel’. It is written in his own handwriting with a colophon bearing his signature at the end.

Includes 13 teshuvos that were never printed!

The manuscript contains thirty-one teshuvos. At the beginning of each teshuvah is the date and name of the inquiring rabbi.

The teshuvos were written in the last year of his life, from the end of 1909 until the end of Shevat 1910 (about two and a half months before his passing; 1910 was a leap year).

On the last leaf, the Divrei Malkiel wrote about the writing of his teshuvos in those years:

"…I was ill, and I was in Warsaw for several weeks and in Berlin for three months. When I came home, I was still weak and could not respond to the questions that accumulated during that time. I only responded to new questions that arrived. Likewise, in the summer of 1908, I did not respond to several questions, as I was ill, and I was also at the Naheim bathhouse for several weeks.

May Hashem strengthen me for His Torah and service and merit me to learn and teach and publish what I still have in writing, as is the wish of the author who awaits Heaven’s mercy, Malkiel Tzvi HaLevi, son of my father and teacher, exceptional in Torah and fear of Heaven, our teacher Rabbi Yonah HaLevi of blessed memory."

Hagaon Harav Malkiel Tzvi HaLevi Tannenbaum, Av Beis Din of Lomza (1847-1910), was the author of the 7-volume masterwork ‘Divrei Malkiel’ and among the leading sages of his generation. He wrote thousands of halachic responsa, responding to complex halachic questions that were sent to him from all over the world. He served as Rav of Lomza for 23 years, engaged in the study of kabbalah, and was approached by countless Jews seeking segulos for salvation. He provided segulos to barren women and those having difficult births.

During his lifetime he published five volumes of Shu"t Divrei Malkiel and Ayin Yafeh on Tractate Niddah. In the last generation, two more volumes of his responsa and a volume of chiddushim on the Talmud were published.

He passed away while traveling to the Petersburg Conference that took place in 1910 and was brought to burial in the city of his rabbinate, Lomza.
