'' an appellation of mentor and guide instantly recognized in every sphere of jewish life and intellectual endeavor. shunning the spotlight and generally not publishing his works, he had the legendary power to deliver unparalleled discourses spanning the talmud, jewish law, philosophy and contemporary issues. \n  \n rabbi soloveitchik was born in poland in 1903, scion of an enduring rabbinic dynasty. his grandfather, rabbi chaim of brisk, developed an innovative system of talmudic study\u2014the acclaimed ''brisker method''\u2014which stressed incisive analysis and precise classification. trained by his father, rabbi moses soloveitchik, in this approach, the rav earned a phd in philosophy at the university of berlin in 1931 and came to the united states the following year.  \n  \n   \n in 1941, rabbi joseph soloveitchik was appointed rosh yeshiva at riets, succeeding his father, who, as rosh yeshiva since 1929, had transplanted the brisk legacy on american soil. the rav enriched this system of learning through a creative fusion of jewish and western scholarship. \n  \n rabbi binyomin aronowitz was born in varzhan, lithuania. he received his rabbinical training in the yeshivot of teishe and volozhin. rabbi aronowitz came to america in 1906 and took a pulpit in lowell, massachusetts. in 1910, he was appointed a rosh yeshiva at rabbi isaac elchanan theological seminary, where

of philo) at brown university in 1935, one of the first awarded for judaic studies in american academia. in 1940, an elaboration of his ph.d. thesis was published with the title \"philo and the oral

letter thanking the u.s. council for granting him a retirement pension is attached to the minutes of the first meeting of the council, held in december 1870.) ascher had a fine tenor voice. morris duparc, secretary of the anglo-jewish association and managing editor of the jewish chronicle, wrote of him: \u201che was a \u2018master of prayer\u2019 in the truest sense of the term. disdaining the vocal pyrotechnics, of which some of our present-day cantors are so fond, his intonation of the services was so beautiful that he enthralled the worshippers. to such an extent was this the case that the synagogue was thronged at the mid-day service on yom kippur katon, not alone by city men, but also by others who foregathered from all parts of london in order that they might hear him render the selichoth appointed to be read that day.\u201d \n \n \n  \n \n \n dr. asher asher (1837-1889) was born in glasgow. he was the first scottish jew to enter the medical profession. he published the book the jewish rite of circumcision (1873). \n \n \n  \n \n \n asher asher was educated at the royal high school. he was a prominent member of the local jewish congregation, as its honorary secretary. then, he abandoned for studying medicine at the university of edinburgh, graduating as doctor of medicine in 1856, as the first jewish doctor of scotland. he practiced at glasgow and the nearby bishopbriggs, a mining town. \n \n \n  \n \n \n in 1862, asher asher moved to london and became medical officer of the jewish board of guardians, where he helped providing medical care for poor jews. in he 1866 was appointed secretary of the great synagogue. about this time the idea of a union of the various london synagogues had been put forward, chiefly by lionel l. cohen; and asher devoted himself to the project with intense energy. in march, 1870, he became first secretary of the united synagogue, contributing largely to the success of that institution \u2014 he wrote the introduction to the by-laws of the constituent synagogues, and practically founded its visitation committee. this office he retained until his death. \n \n \n  \n \n \n owing to asher's intimate relations with the rothschilds, in his capacity of medical attendant, unofficial almoner, and personal friend, his advice was generally followed by them in communal matters. he was connected with a large number of institutions in the london community, and may be regarded as one of its organizers. looking for better conditions for jewish immigrants, asher undertook journeys to palestine, the united states, and russia, in company of samuel montagu. particularly, asher was pledged about the jewish communities of eastern europe. after the visit to palestine he also wrote a report on the condition of affairs in jerusalem, which effected much good. his sympathetic nature attracted to him most of the young men of ability of the rising generation, and upon them he exerted great influence. asher wrote much for

כבר משעות אחה\"צ המוקדמות החלו לתפוס מקומות להתוועדות, ולערך מהשעה שש בערב כבר הי' קשה למצוא מקום טוב. מחמת ריבוי האורחים המצופים, תוכנן שיעשו אוהל מחוץ ל-770 ואלו שלא יוכלו להיכנס, יצפו שם בהתוועדות במסך וידאו ענק. אך לפועל, מחמת הקור והרוח פירקו את כל היתדות שבנו, והרעיון נגנז. התוועדות זו זכורה כאחת ההתוועדות עם ריבוי משתתפים הגדול ביותר. הרבי ישב קרוב לעמוד שלכיוון ארון הקודש [בדרך כלל יושב בצד העמוד לכיוון מערב]. בהתוועדות השתתפו רבנים מכובדים, ואנשי ציבור נבחרים. בסיום ההתוועדות אמר כ\"ק אדמו\"ר, שכעת יחלק תניא לכל אחד מהמשתתפים, כאות הוקרה על כך שהגיעו הנה. הרבי ציין שהוצאה זו הודפסו כל עמודי השער של כל התניא'ס שהודפסו עד לאותו היום. והדגיש, כי החלוקה היא בכדי שילמדו בספרים עד שיקרעו, ויזדקקו להדפיס תניא'ס חדשים. כמו\"כ אמר: 'לכן אתן לכל אחד ואחד שרוצה תניא, וכן דולר לצדקה, ולאחרי שיקבלו האנשים יקבלו ג\"כ הנשים, כי גם הן מחוייבות בידיעת אלוקות וכו''. קודם החלוקה הודיע כ\"ק אדמו\"ר אודות ברכה אחרונה, ולאחרי' ברך בעצמו. אח\"כ אמר שילכו לפי סדר, שיעברו מצד אחד לצד שני, ומבקשים שלא ידחקו כי כולם יקבלו, וסימן בידיו הק'. בין הדברים אמר: 'כל אחד יקבל תניא ודולר ואין נוגע אם קודם או אח\"כ, ואין נפק\"מ בזה, ושלא יהי' בלבולים שזהו היפך 'כי לא בחפזון תצאון', ולא נורא אם יקח כמה דקות', ואמר כ\"ק אדמו\"ר שבעצמו יחכה עוד יותר, עד שיבוא לקחת האחרון שבישראל הנמצא כאן. כן אמר שהנשים ירדו לקבל רק אחרי שיצאו האנשים קודם, בכדי שלא לעשות בלבולים, והסביר מדוע ג\"כ הנשים חייבות בלימוד החסידות. אח\"כ חזר שוב שלא ידחפו, כי זה רק יבלבל, וכשזה יבלבל זה יקח יותר זמן. לפועל החל לחלק כ\"ק אדמו\"ר כמה תניא'ס, אך כשהקהל לא הפסיק מלדחוף, אמר שאם ידחפו אזי יפסיקו (לחלק), יותר טוב שירגעו. כשהמשיך להיות

\n  \n posen silver, formally known as lazarus posen witwe, was a prestigious jewish-owned silversmith company based in frankfurt, germany. founded by lazarus posen in the early 19th century, the company gained an esteemed reputation for its high-quality silver craftsmanship, specializing in both secular and judaic silverwork, including torah ornaments, spice towers, kiddush cups, and elaborate silverware. \n  \n following the death of lazarus posen, the company continued operations under the management of his widow, hence the name \"witwe\" (widow) posen. under her leadership and later generations of the family, the firm flourished, becoming one of the most prominent jewish silversmith businesses in germany, known for its exceptional designs, detailed craftsmanship, and luxury silver items. posen silver was widely recognized across europe, and its works were sought after in jewish and aristocratic circles alike. \n  \n however, with the rise of the nazi regime, jewish businesses faced increasing persecution. the situation reached its peak on kristallnacht (the night of broken glass), november 9\u201310, 1938, a violent pogrom in which nazi forces and their sympathizers attacked jewish-owned businesses, synagogues, and homes across germany and austria. during this brutal assault, posen silver was forcibly shut down by the nazis, marking the tragic end of one of the most significant jewish silversmithing enterprises of its time. \n  \n like many jewish businesses during the holocaust, the company\u2019s assets were seized, and its owners and workers faced persecution, displacement, or worse. the destruction of posen silver on kristallnacht serves as a symbol of the broader devastation inflicted upon jewish culture, craftsmanship, and economic life by the nazi regime. despite its tragic end, posen silver's legacy endures through its surviving works, which are now prized by collectors and museums as a testament to the rich heritage of jewish silver craftsmanship. \n  \n 24cm l., x 17cm w., x 11cm h. \n  \n 20.1ozt."},"lotNumber":"158","title":{"en":"a silver gravy boat stand by lazarus posen circa
