Sefer Baruch Taam, Talmudic treatises and responsa, by the TGaon Rabbi Baruch Fränkel-Teomim Rabbi of Leipnik.

Lemberg (Lviv), 1841. First edition. Approbation by Maran the Chatam Sofer.

This Sefer was edited by the Holy Rebbe Chaim Halberstam of Sanz, author of Divrei Chaim, the famous son-in-law of the author. The Divrei Chaim describes his editing process in the foreword. He also added dozens of his own long glosses, printed at the bottom of the pages, and a detailed table of contents. However, the Divrei Chaim chose to omit his name, and the only mention of him being the editor and author of the glosses appears in the letter by Rabbi Elazar HaLevi Horowitz Rabbi of Vienna, printed at the beginning of the Sefer

Starting with the second edition (printed in Przemyśl 1878), the Divrei Chaim’s name was added to the title page.


The glosses of the Divrei Chaim printed in this Sefer are the first of his novellae to be printed.

Stefansky Chassidut, no. 93.
