SHAA’LU SHLOM YERUSHOLAYIM. POLEMIC REGARDING THE FORGED YERUSHALMI. BILGORAJ 1910. - SHAA’LU SHLOM YERUSHOLAYIM. POLEMIC REGARDING THE FORGED YERUSHALMI. BILGORAJ 1910.  Polemic by R. Meir Don Plotzki (Kli Chemdah) regarding the forged Talmud Yerushalmi on Seder Kodshim. In 1905, Shloime Friedlander began working on what he claimed to be a manuscript of the Talmud Yerushalmi on Kodshim that his brother happened upon in Turkey. It was initially well received by many Rabbonim including R. Shalom Mordechai Schwadron, R. Yehuda Grunwald and R. Eliezer Deutsch who wrote warm approbations for the work. Shortly after its publication, many Rabbonim concluded that this work was a blatant forgery. In this sefer R. Meir Don Plotzki extensively explains the various proofs that the manuscript was a sham. With important correspondence on the topic from many of the era’s greatest Rabbonim including the Avnei Nezer, the Imrei Emes, the Ostrovsa Gaon, the Rogatchover Gaon, the Chelkas Yoav, R. Meir Simcha Cohen, R. Dovid Aryeh Ritter and R. Avrohom Binyomin Kluger. Kerunburg press. 16, 112 pages. 22.7 cm. Overall fine condition, some wear and staining. Tape repair to title page.
