A Very Rare Letter From Rav Yosef Yaakov Neischloss, Rav of Serdehely , Close Talmid of the Chasam Sofer
Sent to Rav Pinchas Leib Freidiger, a dayan in Óbuda, requesting to help the bearer of the letter from being cheated.
Letters from Rav Neischloss are exceptionally rare, as most of his writings were lost in the Holocaust.
Rav Yosef Yaakov Neischloss, Rav of Serdehely (passed away 1868), was one of the greatest talmidim of the Chasam Sofer. In his later years, the Chasam Sofer stopped calling him “talmid” since he reckoned him on his same level. Only one other pupil of the Chasam Sofer merited such an honor.
Óbuda, 1851. Handwritten and signed by Rabbi Yosef Yaakov. Size: 21.5X17.5 cm. Good condition. A few stains. fold marks.
