Shut Kol Aryeh with Glosses by the Author’s Grandson, the ‘Katzeh HaMateh’ – Unpublished!

Responsa Kol Aryeh, Part I, a collection of halachic responsa by the Gaon Rabbi Avraham Yehuda HaKohen Schwartz, first edition, Sámolyó 1904.

Throughout the sefer, remarkable handwritten glosses appear, authored by the renowned Gaon Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Ehrenreich, Av Beis Din of Mad, grandson of the author and celebrated author of Katzeh HaMateh on the Mateh Ephraim, among other works. In his glosses, he deliberates on his holy grandfather’s rulings, writing:

"I did not merit to understand the words of my holy grandfather, the Gaon, of blessed memory..." (Leaf 4/1). These glosses were never printed!

Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Ehrenreich, Av Beis Din of Mad (1875–1937), Author of Katzeh HaMateh. One of the greatest Hungarian rabbanim of his generation, he studied under leading luminaries, including the Kedushas Yom Tov of Sighet, and Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Shapiro, the Darkei Teshuva of Munkatch. He was also a devoted disciple of his brother, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ehrenreich, Av Beis Din of Sámolyó.

Following the passing of Rabbi Mordechai Leib Winkler, the Levushei Mordechai of Mad, he was appointed as his successor as Av Beis Din. His famous Katzeh HaMateh on the Mateh Ephraim became an essential work on the laws of Elul and Tishrei, included in all modern editions of Mateh Ephraim and regarded as a fundamental text. He also authored Shaar HaChaim (on Torah scroll laws) and the responsa Kav HaChaim.
