Kovetz Shiurim. First Edition. Baranovitch 1937. Fine Copy
Collection of around 150 shiurim of R. Elchonon Wasserman on Masechtos Pesachim, Beitzah, Bava Basra, Kesubos, and Kiddushin, as well as numerous Shmuesen by R. Elchonon, R. Tzvi Danzinger and R. Yitzchok Elchonon Waldshein (Mashgiach in Baranovitch). This is one of the most popular Seforim learned throughout the Yeshiva World.
R. Elchonon Bunim Wasserman (1874-1941), learned at the Telshe Yeshiva under R. Lazer Gordon and R. Shimon Shkop and later became a close talmid of R. Chaim Soloveitchik and the Chofetz Chaim. As Rosh Yeshiva in Baranovitch he was renowned for his clear and penetrating shiurim which attracted many students. His seforim, Kovetz Shiurim, Kovetz He’oros and Kovetz Ma’amorim are widely learned in Yeshivos. Additionally, he was extensively involved in communal matters and was very active in the Agudas Yisroel movement.
Originally, each of these shiurim were printed on 2 pages (4 sides) and were distributed in the Yeshiva. Once complete, the Yeshiva published the shiurim, as well as some shmuesen, in one volume titled Kovetz Shiurim with the proceeds benefitting the Yeshiva. There are variations amongst known copies. This copy includes 5 shmuesen at the end of the book.
320, 4, 2, 8, 8 pages. 23 cm. Lacking the title page as well as the first shiur in Pesachim. Fine condition. Original binding.
Opening bid $500
