'Mas'et Binyamin' - Manuscript by the Gaon Rabbi Eliyahu Reich, Dayan of Tirna. Not Printed.


The book 'Mas'et Binyamin' contains wondrous elucidations on the Torah portions including many elucidations of wondrous midrashim and elucidations of the mesorah. Thick volume covering over 250 pages, entirely in the hand of the gaon Rabbi Eliyahu Reich, dayan of Tirna. This manuscript constitutes a continuation to his renowned book Mas'et Binyamin and it has never been printed.


This manuscript includes elucidations and sermons that were delivered 1918-1925, after the completion of the printing of his books Mas'et Binyamin (1908-1914). In his novellae, Rabbi Eliyahu mentions material from his rabbis "... the great gaon Av Beit Din P. B. and other Hungarian sages. Pages 61-66 bear 'Tziyunei Derashot al Pirkei Avot' which are chapter headings. These match his major commentary on Pirkei Avot, Prachei Ezov (Galanta, 1927) and this is definite proof of the author's identity. (There is also a letter signed in a foreign language on page 126b).


The gaon Rabbi Eliyahu Reich [1870-1945] was a disciple of the geonim, the author of Shevet Sofer and Rabbi Yehudah Greenwald, Av Beit Din of Satmar, author of Zichron Yehudah. He served as a dayan and preacher in Tirna from 1904 until he was murdered during the Holocaust, apparently in Tishrei, 1944. His printed works include: Mas'et Binyamin and Prachei Ezov (for more, refer to Kinstlicher, HeChatam Sofer V'Talmidav, p. 558).
