R. Avrohom Shmuel Binyomin Sofer/Ksav Sofer. Historic discovery! Novella transcribed by a disciple, includes seemingly unpublished material! Pressburg 1852.
Divrei Torah on the weekly Torah portions (Sefer Bereishis, Shmos and Parshas Vayikro), as well as Parshas Zachor. Also includes a lengthy “Pesicha L’Bnei Ha’Yeshiva” delivered by the Ksav Sofer in 1846.
This manuscript contains a number of variances and unpublished material. Noteworthy is the lengthy speech delivered at the opening of the new zman in the Yeshiva titled “Pesicha L’Bnei Ha’Yeshiva” (pages 3a-b), as well as shorter pieces on pages 4b, 6a, 11b and a Derosho for Parshas Zachor (page 13a), none of which appear in the published Ksav Sofer.
This manuscript was transcribed from the original notes of the Ksav Sofer by his talmid R. Pinchos Stein (1830-1886). He served as Rov of St-Miklosz and published both responsa and discourses under the title Kin’as Pinchos.
R. Avrohom Shmuel Binyamin Sofer (1815-1872), was the eldest son of the Chasam Sofer. He was a student of his father and of R. Mordechai Ephraim Fischel Sofer. Following the passing of the Chasam Sofer in 1839, he was appointed as Rav and Rosh Yeshiva of Pressburg. Under his leadership the Kehilla of Pressburg in general, and the Yeshiva continued to be great centers of Torah. Many of the next generation of rabbinical leaders were amongst his students, and his novella (published posthumously) were received with great acclaim.
