The Somewhat Litvshe Yid

Book 'em Dano.

Well, it's Book Week here in Israel. So I went and got some books. Here's the list of my שלל רב:

Even HaEzel - R' Isser Zalman Meltzer
Har Tzvi - R' Tzvi Pesach Frank (Chiddushim, not Shut)
Chidushei HaRav Zelig Reuven Bengis
Cheshbona Shel Mitzvah - The Aderet (R' Eliyah David Rabinowitz Teumim) on the Sefer HaChinuch
(yes...it was Yerushalmi geonim week...)

I also picked up R' Moshe Tzuriel's latest -
Otzeros HaMussar and Niflaim Ma'asecha.

I have a lot of learning to do...

  • When I go to Eretz Yisroel later this summer, I hope to buy a set of the Steipler's Kehillas Yaakov, it's a very important sefere, but you can't find it anywhere in America unless it's in a Yeshiva or Kollel, let alone buy one. Do you know where I should go in EY?

  • I think you have to go to R' Chaim Kanievsky in B'nei Brak.

  • it's such as special sefer you cannot buy it in stores.

  • you can buy it @ Rav Chaim's house but he will give a the 3rd degree.

  • It's not as bad as it used to be, by the way. I have a whole set, my brother-in-law picked it up for me. He told R' Chaim I was in kolel in Jerusalem and didn't want to get up from learning to come there (which was actually the truth, by the way). With the Steipler he would only sell you whatever Masechta you were learning at the time.

  • Good point. I just wanted to make sure all my bases were covered and that people didn't take my current state of batlanus to mean that at one point I wasn't a more serious learner.

  • I have on a few masechtot that I was learning at the time in Yeshiva...but I lost my Berkat Peretz (Steipler's zt'l sefer on parashat shavua). That was a great sefer...

  • Heh. I wish. I haven't even opened most of them yet. I did look at the Har Tzvi on the sugya I've been doing in Psachim. And wow...he quoted R' Kook. I was impressed.

  • litvishe, you being sarcastic about Rav Frank quoting Rav Kook, right? please say yes before i start ranting and raving!

  • No, I thought it was pretty natural that he quoted R' Kook. They were very close and R' Frank certainly held that R' Kook was the Gadol HaDor. I just was happy that a sefer, published in the last couple years, by ostensably chareidi folks, would keep the R' Kook stuff in. Knowing their penchant for historical revisionism.
