Kantrowitz, Ya’akov (1873-1946). Small archive of Autograph Manuscripts, including novellae and responsa, all in Hebrew.
Scholarly comments on Shev Shma’atha by R. Aryeh Leib Heller and related topics. Includes page-proofs for Tzilutha Deshma’atha and Chidushei Rabeinu Ya’akov (later published under the title Chidushei Hagri). With materials by his son, R. Naphtali Hertz Kantrowitz.
Trenton: (1944-62)
R. Ya’akov Kantrowitz was the uncle of R. Moshe Feinstein. He studied in Volozhin under R. Raphael Shapiro and following his arrival to America in 1925, served as Rabbi in Trenton, NJ. In 1933 Kantrowitz was appointed Rosh Yeshiva of Torah Vodaath, Brooklyn, however an automobile accident forced him to relinquish his position to R. Shlomo Heiman. R. Moshe Feinstein states in his approbation to Chidushei Hagri that his uncle knew the entire Talmud by heart: “Whoever studies his works will be successful in all endeavors.”
