Here's a nice little interesting pamphlet published in Frankfurt AM in May 1805, publicizing the
cherem on a man called Lemle Geiger's plan for a bootlegged version of Heidenheim's machzor, by order of the Hafla'ah, Frankfurt's Chief Rabbi Pinchas Horowitz (and seconded by various rabbis of other cities), complete with fiery curses. (

For more - or actually, less - on this fascinating episode, see p. 133 in
Monatsschrift für Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judentums, Volume 44, in 'Materialen zu einer Biographie Wolf Heidenheims' by Louis Lewin (the rabbi, not the expert on peyote).
very nice. but the first page I found at the end of the Heidenheim's machzor in some versions.
ReplyDeleteYou've seen one that said the name, Lemle Geiger, rather than "ish echad?"

ReplyDeleteGee thanks for that reference. I'll just head over now to the 'German Journals' section of my humble library sitting next to some rare volumes of Kovetz Beis Aaron V'Yisroel I have own, and casually turn to - what was it you said, pg. 133? Not a problem. Good thing I picked up this volume the other day at Eichler's.
Oy, lulei 'Monatsschrift für Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judentums' az surely avadti b'anyi.
Google is your friend. If you live outside the US then you don't count. Just kidding. But if you can't access it, let me know.

ReplyDeleteFascinating, how long is that article? Sounds like a biography waiting to be written.
Too short. Yes, it is definitely a biography waiting to be written. I'll leave it to someone else, but I sure want to read it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Thanks.
