Psak din from Rabbi Yosef Haim Zonnenfeld (1849-1932), Ga’avad of the Charedi Eida. [1] leaf, 14cm. Good condition, light tears and stains.
Rabbi Zonnenfeld was the rabbi and co-founder of the Edah HaChareidis during the years of the British Mandate of Palestine. He was originally given the name "Chaim"; however, the name "Yosef" was added to him while he experienced an illness. Sonnenfeld was born in Verbó, Hungary (today: Vrbové, Slovakia). His father, Rabbi Avraham Shlomo Zonnenfeld, died when Chaim was five years old. Sonnenfeld was a student of Rabbi Samuel Benjamin Sofer (the Ksav Sofer), the son of Rabbi Moses Sofer (the Chasam Sofer). He was also a student of Rabbi Avraham Schag in Kobersdorf (who was himself a disciple of the Chasam Sofer); Sonnenfeld moved from the latter city to Jerusalem in 1873. Sonnenfeld became an important figure in Jerusalem's Old City, serving as the right-hand man of Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin and assisting the latter in communal activities, such as the founding of schools and the Diskin Orphanage, and the fight against secularism.
