What makes this specific set so special is that it includes the Novellae of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, which has been translated by Rabbi Austin J. Rosenberg and in sum it is considered to be extremely original material by the scholars in this field. Not needing mention is the fact that Rabbi Feinstein was considered the last and sole arbiter of the law when disagreements arose in matters of Jewish law and civil jurisprudence, making his comments which are rendered directly on the appropriate location in the original Talmudic text, indispensable to students and a great help in the research and the in-depth analysis of how the Talmud shaped normative law for the Jewish people all throughout history down to the present modern era. Also Rabbi Dr. A. Melnick was a great help in examining the texts and making the necessary corrections for the preparation of numerous tracts. About the author of the special comments and notes contained in this set: Moshe Feinstein b. 1895 - d. 1986 was an American Orthodox rabbi, and posek or authority on halakha/Jewish law. He has been called the most famous Orthodox Jewish legal authority of the twentieth century and his rulings are often referenced in contemporary rabbinic literature. Feinstein served as president of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis, Chairman of the Council of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of the Agudath Israel of America, and head of Mesivta Tifereth Jerusalem in New York. Moshe Feinstein was born, according to the Hebrew calendar, on Adar 7, traditionally the date of birth and death of the biblical Moshe and the reason that he was given his name, in Uzda, near Minsk, Belarus (then part of the Russian Empire). His father, Rabbi David Feinstein, rabbi at Uzda. He studied with his father and in yeshivas located in Slutsk, under Pesach Pruskin, and Shklov. He also had a close relationship with his uncle, Yaakov Kantrowitz, rabbi of Timkovichi, whom he greatly revered and considered his mentor. For the rest of his life, Feinstein considered Pruskin as his rebbe. Feinstein was appointed rabbi of Lyuban, where he served for sixteen years. He married Shima Kustanovich in 1920 and had five children. Under increasing pressure from the Soviet regime, he moved with his family to New York City in January 1937, where he lived for the rest of his life. Settling on the Lower East Side, he became the rosh yeshiva of Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem. He was president of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada, and chaired the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Agudath Israel of America from the 1960s until his death. Feinstein was recognized by many as the preeminent halachic authority (posek) of his generation; ruling on issues of Jewish law as they pertain to modern times. Feinstein's greatest renown came from a lifetime of responding to halachic queries posed by Jews in America and worldwide. He authored approximately 2,000 responsa on a wide range of issues affecting Jewish practice in the modern era. Some responsa can also be found in his Talmudic commentary (Dibrot Moshe), some circulate informally, and 1,883 responsa were published in Igrot Moshe. Among Feinstein's works are;Igrot Moshe; (Epistles of Moshe); a classic work of Halachic responsa. Consisting of 7 volumes published during his lifetime and widely referenced by contemporary halachic authorities. Of these, An additional 2 volumes were published posthumously from manuscripts and oral dictations that were transcribed by others.Dibrot Moshe (Moshe's Words); a 14 volume work of Talmudic novellae with additional volumes being published by the Feinstein Foundation and being coordinated by his family. Feinstein is known for writing, in a number of places, that certain statements by prominent early authorities which Feinstein found theologically objectionable were not in fact written by those rishonim, but rather inserted into the text by erring students. Feinstein attributed such comments to students as a way of politely rejecting statements by rishonim while still retainingfull reverence for them as religious leaders of earlier generations.
