Manuscript, Copyings of Interesting Letters by R. Shmuel Rosenberg Rabbi of Unsdorf and R. Yehoshua Buxbaum Rabbi of Galanta, and Novellae by R. Yehoshua Buxbaum – Hungary, Ca. 1940 – Partially Unpublished

Manuscript, copyings of five letters, novellae and sermons by R. Yehoshua Buxbaum Rabbi of Galanta; and copyings of two letters from his teacher R. Shmuel Rosenberg Rabbi of Unsdorf. [Hungary, ca. 1940].
The letters and novellae were presumably copied by a student in the Galanta yeshiva, from the manuscript of R. Naftali Buxbaum, son of R. Yehoshua. To the best of our knowledge, part of the manuscript remains unpublished.
The manuscript opens with a letter from R. Shmuel Rosenberg to R. Yeshaya Silberstein Rabbi of Waitzen, in which he opposes introducing secular studies in the yeshiva curriculum. This followed by a letter on a similar topic by R. Yehoshua Buxbaum.
The second part of the manuscript comprises 20 pages of novellae and sermons, mostly on the Torah portions. Most of these sermons were published in Or Pnei Yehoshua on the Torah (Jerusalem 1950), though some remain unpublished (see enclosed material).
The manuscript concludes with an enthusiastic letter of recommendation from R. Shmuel Rosenberg of Unsdorf for his disciple R. Yehoshua Buxbaum. To the best of our knowledge, this letter is unpublished.
