Manuscript, Sermons Handwritten by Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh of Liska – Published with Variations in His Books Ach Pri Tevua and HaYashar VehaTov
Fifteen leaves (thirty pages), sections of various sermons, handwritten by Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh Friedman Rabbi of Liska (Olaszliszka). [Liska, 1864-1867].
Handwritten by the author Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh, with emendations and deletions in the body of the text.
Sections of various sermons from 1864-1867, delivered on Hoshana Rabba, Yom Kippur, Shabbat Shuva and various year-round Shabbatot. Some leaves bear headings: "That which I said in 1864 on Hoshana Rabba"; "That which I said on Hoshana Rabba"; "Said on Hoshana Rabba 1867"; "On Hoshana Rabba"; "On Parashat HaChodesh"; "On Parashat Acharei"; "Omitted from the above, what I said at the inauguration of the synagogue"; "What I said on Yom Kippur 1866"; "On Yom Kippur, what I said in 1867"; "On Shabbat Teshuvah, delivered in 1864"; "On Shabbat Teshuvah"; "1867 – On Shabbat Teshuvah"; "On Shabbat Teshuvah and Hoshana Rabba".
Most of these sermons were published after the passing of the author in his books Ach Pri Tevuah, Part I (Munkacs 1875) and HaYashar VehaTov, Part I (Munkacs, 1880), after being edited and occasionally under a different heading (for instance, the sermon for Parashat Acharei in the present manuscript appears in HaYashar VehaTov as a sermon for Yom Kippur). The present manuscript contains the original text as recorded by the author, with textual differences compared to the printed edition (see foreword to Ach Pri Tevuah by the publisher R. Ze'ev Wolf, grandson of the author, who explains how he edited and corrected the original text, with the consent of his grandfather).
Comparison of the present manuscript with the printed books reveals many textual differences and entire, unpublished sections.
