Description: SHU"T ONEG YOM TOV by Rabbi Refael Yom Tov Lipman Halperin of Bialystock HEBREW VG CONDITION, HARDCOVER, ALL IN 1, MASSIVE VOLUME The Jewish population of the city of Bialystok grew considerably after the middle of the nineteenth century, and an 1897 census recorded that 63% of the city’s 66,000 citizens were Jewish. This growing community invited Rabbi Refael Yom-Tov Lipman Halpern, already famous for his scholarship and morals, to serve as their Chief Rabbi. During his tenure (1859–1879) Rabbi Halpern authored a voluminous book of Responsa (She'elot U-Teshuvot) clarifying Jewish Law, which went on to become highly renowned throughout the rabbinical world (Figure 1). In 1961, over eighty years after its initial publication, the book was re-issued, attesting to its enduring relevance and value. Rabbi Halpern’s son, Naphtali-Hertz, succeeded him in the position of Chief Rabbi, and his fame spread among Jews as well as Gentiles, to the extent that the bells of Bialystok’s churches tolled during his funeral. Naphtali-Hertz’s son, Rabbi Shlomo (Solomon) Halpern chaired the Rabbinical Court of Bialystok. He was quite disappointed when his two sons decided not to carry on the familial rabbinical line, but to pursue secular education at distant universities. The eldest son, Lipman (named after his great-grandfather) went to study medicine in Königsberg, and the younger son, Israel, immigrated to Eretz-Israel (Palestine), studied history, and became Professor and Chair of the Department of History of the Jews in Poland, at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. To reconcile with the chosen path of his eldest son, in 1923 Rabbi Shlomo authored a treatise on Medicine and Jewish Law. The “Book of the Physicians” (SeferHa Rofim),1 written in classical Hebrew, is a comprehensive and highly original examination of contemporary medical studies, practices, attitudes, and ethics as viewed by Jewish Law (Halacha). The book emphasizes that devotion to the patient’s health and well-being overrides other directives and that the physician should be committed to continued learning and impeccable behavior. The handwritten manuscript was found posthumously among Lipman Halpern’s documents and was published in 1981 in Assia, a journal devoted to medicine and Jewish Law.1 Rabbi Shlomo continued to serve his congregation in Bialystok until late in June 1941. On that “Red Friday” the Germans gathered the city’s Jews—Rabbi Shlomo, their leader, among them—into the huge wooden synagogue and set it afire. More than 2,000 Jews perished in the blazing building. We have over 500,000 books of Jewish interest in Stock, please make sure to check out our Our eBay Store Questions, comments, Requests?
