Ohr Bahir - Siget, 1908 - Polemic Regarding the Mikveh in Klausenburg
Ohr Bahir - Siget, 1908 - Polemic Regarding the Mikveh in Klausenburg
Ohr Bahir pamphlet, concerning the matters of Mikvaot, by Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glazner Av Beit Din of the holy congregation of Klausenburg. Siget, [1908].
This book was written during the Halachic controversy of the author with the Zanz Hassidim in the city of Klausenburg, who spoke against the Kashrut of the magnificent Mikveh which was established under the rabbi’s supervision. The Mikveh controversy erupted in view of the fact that the Mikveh was not built according to the opinion of their Rabbi, author of the Divrei Chaim from Zanz, but rather in adherence to the custom of the Chatam Sofer, grandfather of Rabbi M.S. Glasner (See: Y.Y. Cohen, Chachmei Transylvania, page 53). Eventually, the Klausenberg Orthodox congregation split into two groups, Ashkenazic and Hassidic.
Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner (1856-1925, Otzar Ha’Rabbanim 15664), was the son of Rabbi Avraham Glasner Av Beit Din of Klausenburg (son in law of Rabbi David Zvi Ehrenfeld from Pressburg, son in law of the Chatam Sofer). He served in the Klausenburg Rabbinate (Klauz’sh) for 45 years.
