Lengthy Halachic Responsum on the Kashruth of Cognac - by the Gaon and Posek Rabbi Yisrael Weltz Rosh Av Beit Din of Budapest - Jerusalem, 1957

Lengthy Halachic Responsum handwritten and signed by the Gaon and Posek Rabbi Yisrael Weltz addressed to the Gaon Rabbi Eliezer yehuda Wakdenberg - Jerusalem, 1957. 


The letter indicates the anxiety and caution of these Geonim to be precise with their Psikah. Rabbi Yisrael Woltz' words imply that he had sent Rabbi Waldenberg a letter disagreeing with a Psak Rabbi Waldenberg had given pertaining to the kashruth of Cognac. Two days later, Rabbi Weltz found a responsum in the book Shut Imrei Yosher supporting Rabbi Waldenberg's opinion. Rabbeinu harried to send a second letter to Rabbi Waldenberg, telling him about what he had found and ending his letter with the words:  "והדבר מקבל צורה חדשה ויצא לגמרי מתורת חלב יש להתיר כמו שהסיק כבודו, וחשתי ולא התמהמתי להודיעו כדי שתנוח דעתו וכי לא אנה לידו כל אוון בהי"ת".

The Gaon Rabbi Yisrael Weltz (1887-1974) a disciple of the Shevet Sofer in Pressburg, Rosh Av Beit Din of Budapest during the Holocaust and later a Moreh Hora'ah in Jerusalem. Author of Shut Divrei Yisrael 3 sections.
