2 sections Zecher Yehosef, Warsaw - Vilna 1898, First edition. 2 sections in 1 volume. R. Yosef Zechariah Stern (1839-1904), was one of the leading rabbinical leaders of his generation and author of many highly acclaimed works. His seforim, which encompass a wide spectrum of Torah subjects, are renowned for their great erudition and reveal some of the breadth of his encyclopedic knowledge. Additionally, his opinion on complex halachic issues was much sought after, and many of his responsa are printed in his multi-volume Zecher Yehosef.

Yaakov Gesundheit of Warsaw writes in his approbation, “HaRav Hama’or HaGaon HaGadol HaCharif UBaki HaMefursam R. Yosef Zechariah Stern of Lita came before me and showed me his manuscript… and I stood there astonished and trembling at the extent of his incisive encyclopedic knowledge of Talmud Bavli, Yerushalmi, Tosefta, with all the Teshuvos, Poskim and Meforshim….” Pages : 105, 46.
