Mecholas HaMachana’im  - An important Halachic work concerning various customs of the synagogue, the placement of the Bimah, the role of women and other topics. This collection of responsa was written at the height of the dispute between the Hungarian Orthodox and Neolog communities, and constitutes a strong defense of the mesorah. This work was strongly criticized by leaders of the Neolog movement in one of their publications, and the author responded publicly in a later work entitled Har Tavor. Includes various diagrams regarding the lunar cycle.
