GERSTENFELD, SHMUEL.

Autograph Letter Signed written on letterhead in Hebrew to Rabbi Yehoshua Baumol.


Discusses kashruth, and a Talmudic passage in Gittin about which clarification is requested.


One page. Folds. 4to.

Brooklyn, 19th Adar II, 1935.


Rabbi Gerstenfeld (1873-1958) studied in the yeshiva in Klausenberg before embarking on a rabbinic career, first in England, and then the United States, where he arrived in 1916. In America, he served simultaneously as rabbi of the congregation Shomer Shabbat-Nusach Ashkenaz in Brooklyn, and as Talmudic lecturer at Yeshiva University’s Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary. Rare for his time, he was a European-born and trained rabbi who wrote prolifically in English.
