Sefer Beit Meir, Warsaw 1870.
Stamps of the Holy Gaon Rabbi Moshe Yosef Hoffman The Dayan of Pápa. Rear flyleaves inscribed with the date of his passing
The Holy Gaon Rabbi Moshe Yosef Hoffman "The Dayan of Pápa" [1843-1928], his rabbis said that he was a Kaddosh Merachem who was recognized by his holiness his entire life. He received his Semicha by his great Rav the Mahari Assad, serving as Rosh Yeshiva in his city of Serdahely. Since 1882 until 1906 he served as Dayan and Moreh Tzeddek in Pápa and in 1906 immigrated to the Holy Land, living in Jerusalem and studying Torah in the Beis Midrash of the Basei Ungarin neighborhood. He used to sit all day with his Tefillin and write hundreds and thousands of leaves with Torah innovations, which were kept in the attic of the synagogue until disappearing from there. His great diligence and piety were wonderous. Gaon in Nigleh and Nistar. A modest man who merited seeing Eliyahu. A miracle-worker.
Once, one of the disciples of the Holy Rav Yehoshua Buxbaum Av Beis Din of Galanta sked: Did his holy Rav Rabbi Moshe Yosef the Dayan of Pápa have Ruach HaKodesh? and was answered: I have no knowledge of him having RuachHaKodesh but I know for a fact that he saw Eliyahu HaNavih.
Good condition, light tears, later binding.
