(PRESSBURG).
Notebook of Yeshiva Student.
Anonymous Manuscript in Hebrew, Yiddish and German.
ff. 20 (excluding blanks). Browned. Modern boards. 4to.
Hungary (likely Slovakia today): 1928-29
The Yeshiva notes of a young boy likely around Bar Mitzvah age. A VALUABLE INSIGHT TO THE EDUCATIONAL REALITIES IN THE REALM DOMINATED BY THE CHASAM SOFER’S STUDENTS.
All rabbis mentioned here were active in towns only a few dozen miles from Pressburg, the epicenter of the Chasam Sofer’s influence.
The 40-odd pages of notes include:
* Summary of UNPUBLISHED sermon heard directly from R. Shmuel David Halevi Ungar (Rosh Yeshiva of Nitra, 1885-1945). 1 ff.
* Transcript of Eulogy delivered for R. Yisrael ‘HaRo’eh’ Shor of Subatisht (Sobotište, d. 1929) by the student’s uncle. 4.5 ff.
* Sermon on Parshath Beha’alothcha delivered by the student at a meeting of the local Tze’irei Agudath Israel chapter. 7 ff.
* Notes on a beginner’s Talmudic Sugya (Kiddushin 36a). 2 ff.
* Torah thoughts (likely school notes, alternating pen indicates a new session of the class). 3 ff.
* Essay in German. 1 ff.
* Hebrew grammar lesson. 1 ff.
Thus, the young boy raised in the Soferian mold displays a clear penchant for Talmudic study, respect of rabbinic authority and a desire to make his own contributions to the world of Torah. While he also received a systematic education in Dikduk, as well as rudimentary writing skills in German, the ratio of such content speaks volumes as to the weltanschauung of the Pressburgian educational system.
