Postcard in holy handwriting and signature - foreign. Berlin, 1913.

[1] Postcard. Chiddushei Torah in Halachot Tahara, which he sent to Rabbi Dr. Asher Michael (Arthur) Cohen.

Rabbi David Zvi Hoffman - [1843-1921] Studied with the author of the Ktav Sofer and Maharam Schick, was one of the leaders of German Jewry at the end of the 19th century and the leader of the Torah with Derech Eretz school. The Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin, was known in his responsa Melamed to be useful, and wrote other commentaries and essays.

Rabbi Asher Michael (Arthur) Cohen - (5622-5676), one of the leading leaders of Swiss Jewry, was the disciple of Rabbi Azriel Hildesheimer, and at the age of 24 was ordained rabbi and was appointed rabbi of Basel, where he served for 40 years. He dealt with halakha with the greatest of his generation, such as Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor and Rabbi Kook. In 1897, Rabbi Cohen invited Herzl to hold the First Zionist Congress in his city, following the opposition of rabbis from various circles (Orthodox and Reform) to the Munich Congress (as planned in the first place). Rabbi Cohen also took an active part in Congress and even spoke. Rabbi Cohen was one of the initiators of "Agudat Israel" and one of the first rabbis in Germany to call on the ultra-Orthodox to unite. He participated in the founding conference of Agudath Israel in Katowice and was the first speaker at the opening conference.
