Meshech Chochmah [novellae to the Torah].

FIRST EDITION. pp. 434. Previous owner's marks. Contemporary boards, spine taped. 4to.

E. Levin, Riga: 1927.

R. Meir Simcha of Dvinsk (1843-1926) was one of the foremost Rabbinic leaders of the pre-War generation. He was known as the "Ohr Same'ach" after his Halachic magnum opus, a penetrating study on the Mishneh Torah of Maimonides. His Meshech Chochmah was published posthumously by R. Menachem Mendel Zak and has since been republished many times to great acclaim.
     See p. 245 for the eerie prediction: "There will come a time when the Jewish nation will think that Berlin is (their) Jerusalem, (at which point) a raging storm will destroy them."
