A leaf handwritten by Maran the Gaon Rabbi Shmuel Halevi Wosner, on the Sugya of Hatavas Haneiros by a stranger in the Rambam and Ravad and Chidushei Maran the Chazon Ish. On a large sheet of paper. Has never been published.

The Manuscript ends in its middle, after turning to an additional commentary on the dispute between the Rambam and the ר"א. Written on old stationery from ca. the 1960s.

In the center of the leaf, he writes ”לא הוצרכתי לזה אלא מפני שראיתי לגאון חזון איש מנחות שכ’ בדברי הרמב"ם…’

Maran the great Gaon Rabbi Shmuel Halevi Wosner [1913-2015] one of Gedolei Hador, Amud Hora’ah. Most of the Morei Hora’ah and Poskim of the recent generation were his disciples or members of his Beis Din. He was a leading disciple of Maran the Maharam Shapiro of Lublin and the Mashgi’ach Rabbi Shimon of Zelichiv, Rabbi Shmuel David Unger of Nietra and Rabbi Yosef Elimelech Kahana of Ungvar.

On the advice of Maran the Chazon Ish, he was appointed the Rav of Zichron Meir. Already in his youth, Maran Kedosh Aharon of Belz said of his yeshiva and Beis Hora’ah that ‘four cubits of Halacha in our days are located in Zichron Meir with Rabbi Wosner’.
