There are three upcoming auctions, Kestenbaum , Asufa, and Jerusalem Judaica.  The first two have their catalogs online while the final one is only available in hardcopy.  Kestenbaum has two very rare and thus highly prized pieces, one the 1526 Prague Haggadah. (Lot number 124) This edition, which is the first complete (there were some leaves found in a binding containing illustrations that may or may not be earlier, but, in all events, it was not a complete copy), illustrated…

New Books from Biegeleisen While Eliezer is in the midst of preparing a comprehensive list of new seforim issued in the past months, I wanted to provide a shorter list of new seforim that I have recently received from Biegeleisen.  All of these are of course available at Biegeleisen in Boro Park (and I assume elsewhere as well) and some will be reviewed in greater detail in the coming months.  Batim le-Vadim, Yaakov Mosowitz, Beni Brak, 2008, 663 pp. a…

In the next few weeks there are a bunch of auctions.

The incunabula includes the first edition of the Rambam's commentary on…

There are two upcoming auctions. The first, Kestenbaum & Co. will take place this Thursday, June 26th, the catalog is available on their website. The auction includes R. S.R. Hirsch’s copy of the Zohar, which is interesting in that R. Hirsch is not readily associated with Kabbalah. Of course, R. Hirsch and other German Jews had a more nuanced view of Kabbalah and were not antagonistic as some others (think certain groups of Yemenites). Additionally, for those interested in incunabula,…
