Classics. Chidushei Rabbeinu Chaim Ha’Levi. First Edition. Brisk 1936. Pedigreed Copy. Excellent Condition!
R. Chaim HaLevi Soloveitchik known as R. Chaim Brisker (1853-1918), was the founder of the popular ‘Brisker’ approach to Talmud study, a method of highly exacting and analytical study that focuses on precise definitions and categorizations of Jewish law with particular emphasis on the RaMBaM. Following many years as a Maggid shiur in the renowned Volozhiner Yeshiva, he succeeded his father (Bais HaLevi) as Rav of Brisk. His primary work was Chidushei Rabbeinu Chaim HaLevi; a volume of insights on the RaMBaM, which was published posthumously by his sons. This Sefer is one of the most fundamental works in the Lithuanian school of Yeshivos.
With the library stamps of R. Yitzchok Kossovsky, brother-in-law of R. Chaim Ozer Grodzensky.
R. Yitzchok Kossovsky (1877-1951), learned in the Telz Yeshiva under R. Shimon Shkop. In 1904, he succeeded his father-in-law, Rav Dovid Shlomo Grodzensky (father of R. Chaim Ozer) as Rav of Ivye. In 1933 R. Yitzchok immigrated to South Africa, where he served as Rav of the Johannesburg community until his passing. See lot 224.
