This was the style of the era. People picked nom de plumes in a clever way. I would say that it is more probable that Emet was an allusion to his name (and, of course, the meaning of the term) then only Truth.S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-63093555546682571942012-06-20T17:41:33.239-04:002012-06-20T17:41:33.239-04:00Correction: **why** do you have no doubt?Correction: **why** do you have no doubt?Ovadyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-65944332804031602142012-06-20T15:26:07.124-04:002012-06-20T15:26:07.124-04:00And published in Vienna, looks like he traveled a ...And published in Vienna, looks like he traveled a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-77706916067363900472012-06-20T15:16:16.409-04:002012-06-20T15:16:16.409-04:00And published in Warsaw, and died in Kovno.

And remember, it's not only spending time in London, but having a very good writing English. The only thing likely about him as a candidate is his date of birth. Plus, it seems that he really signed "Ish Emet."S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-6768255941658035042012-06-20T15:09:54.701-04:002012-06-20T15:09:54.701-04:00see here that it is likely he was born in minsk:

Furthermore, in Zeitlin's Taalumos Sofrim pamphlet he lists another who used Emet. As I said in the post though, I have a hunch this is an allusion to the writer's name - even if it is a one-off communication rather than a regular nom de plume.<br /><br />2) As for the schedule, I also thought it was a combination of them. The Chasam Sofer's schedule is described in some detail in the biographies. <br /><br />3) Probably.<br /><br />4) Maybe the afternoons were when they learned privately, or wrote their teshuvos, or took their naps.<br /><br />5) London. This periodical lasted for under two years. It was founded by Marcus Henry Bresslau, former editor of the Jewish Chronicle. It consciously styled itself as a revival of a very similar periodical from the 1830s by the same name, which had been founded by Morris J. Raphall, then secretary to Chief Rabbi Solomon Hirschel, later an American rabbi. The purpose of this magazine was to publish translations of various interesting portions of classic rabbinic literature (the subtitle was "and Magazine for Rabbinical Literature"; it also had the Hebrew title "Hameasseph"). The audience would have been intelligent and learned, or somewhat learned, Jews in England.<br /><br />Read the entire run of it <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=2coOAAAAQAAJ" rel="nofollow">here</a>.S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-23837059703034900012012-06-20T14:38:00.184-04:002012-06-20T14:38:00.184-04:001) Not that it can't be Margolis, but have you...1) Not that it can't be Margolis, but have you no doubt that it is an allusion to the author's name? Maybe he simply didn't want to disclose his identity hence signed off with something that he is demonstrating in his article.<br /><br />2) I wonder who's schedule he is relaying. Maybe it's just a combination of them all? <br /><br />3) What does he mean "another ש"ע מגן אברהם" - "another CLASS of "ש"ע מגן אברהם"?<br /><br />4) Why is there no mention of the afternoon period of the rabbis' schedule? It doesn't seem that that is when they attended to their other responsibilities as "father figures". <br /><br />5) Do you know where the central distribution for this periodical was and who were their main readership?Ovadyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-34442279696485443422012-06-20T14:07:27.671-04:002012-06-20T14:07:27.671-04:00I dont know much about him other than he translate...I dont know much about him other than he translated Western works from several languages into Heberw.Alan Brillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429152402944035854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-38361098564006644182012-06-20T13:48:52.367-04:002012-06-20T13:48:52.367-04:00Thanks!
