This book presents solutions and objections to the difficulties posed by leading Acharonim on the teachings in Urim VeTumim. Part I, on sections 1-89, was printed by the author in Lviv, 1801. In his preface to Part II, the author relates that in Part I, he criticized in several places the Ketzot HaChoshen, who in his opinion did not fully understand the words of R. Yehonatan Eybeschütz on several topics. When visiting the Ketzot HaChoshen in his town - Styri, he realized that he had been hurt by his contentions, whilst in reality, his criticism emanated from a love of truth only.
