Ofel VeBochen – Jerusalem, 1890 – Polemic of the Rabbi of Adda and Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried
Ofel VeBochen, response to the booklet "Michse L'Ohel" by Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried. Rabbi Mordechai Eliezer Weber. [Jerusalem, c. 1890], S. HaLevi 638.
Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried, author of “Kitzur Shulchan Aruch” in his book “Ohalei Shem” disagreed with Rebbe Chaim of Sanz in his book “Divrei Chaim”. “The Rabbi of Adda” – Rabbi Mordechai Eliezer Weber (1822-1892, Rabbi in Adda and other communities, in his later years he lived in Jerusalem) wrote a polemic booklet opposing Rabbi Ganzfried by the name of “Milchemet Chovah” (Jerusalem 1882). In response, Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried printed a pamphlet by the name of “Michse L'Ohel” (printed in 1884) where he sharply attacks the Rabbi of Adda and accuses him seriously. Later, “Michse L'Ohel” became a weapon in the hands of the opposers to the Rabbi of Adda in Kollel Hungary in Jerusalem, who reprinted it (in 1889), distributed it and even pasted it on the walls of Jerusalem residences. The Rabbi of Adda was called upon to defend himself in this pamphlet which has letters of rabbis that support him. He relates that "They read [Michse L'Ohel] in the Beit Midrash and distributed it all over the Holy City… and sent it to Hebron… and even went as far as sending it abroad…". He surprisingly claims that “Michse L'Ohel” was never written by Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried and was not printed with his knowledge but rather forged by "a deceitful fake".
In this pamphlet, the dispute in the kollel "from last Elul" is mentioned as well as the reprinting of “Michse L'Ohel” in Jerusalem. Hence, it was printed approximately in 1890 [see also S. HaLevi, no. 637-638].
