Polemic: Ma'amar Mordechai. Brono, 1789. Only edition. By Rabbi Mordechai Halberstadt Rabbi of Disseldorf Approbations of rabbis of Nicholsberg and of Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Horwitz Rabbi of Trebitsch (son of Rebbe Shmelke of Nicholsberg). After it was published, this book was hidden and banned. Already in the 1880 s, the author of Nachal Eshkol (Sefer HaEshkol Part 2 page 187, Brit Avraham Page 24) writes that the book cannot be found and he has seen only one copy. He says that the reason for this is that the rabbis of Frankfurt had burned the book because of Siman 56 where the author printed a halachic response of the Pnei Yehoshua regarding the disagreement on the matter of Tum'as Ohel in the main street of the Jewish quarter of Frankfurt.
