Responsa Mishne Sachir, part 1. by the holy Gaon Rabbi Yisachar Shlomo Teichtahl HY”D, with a dedication and many blessings in his holy handwriting. First edition, Bardejov, 1924.

On the title page is a dedication in the author’s handwriting: “Sent to my beloved friend, great in Torah, the Gevir who is famous for his good deeds, Rabbi Chaim Shmuel Naftali”, and concludes with many blessings: “Salvations… and Hashem will keep him as the apple of the eye and Hashem will merit him lasting strength” and more.

The holy Gaon Rabbi Yisachar Shlomo Teichtal (1885-1945) served as Rabbi and Rosh Yeshiva in Piešťany, a resort town in Western Slovakia. Known for his responsa “Mishne Sachir”. Before WWII his views on Zionism were similar to those of most Hungarian Rabbis, and, while he did join with the Minchas Elazar of Munkatch in decrying Zionism, he was not busy with it. After the outbreak of WWII his views changed, and he called for immigrating to Eretz Yisrael, a topic he discusses in his Sefer “Eim Habanim Smeicha”.
Managed to publish, pre-WWII, two volumes of “Responsa Mishne Sachir” and his “Eim Habanim Smeicha”. After the war, three more volumes of Responsa Mishne Sachir, a diary he wrote during the holocaust called “Emuna Tzrufa BeKur HaShoah” (Faith Forged in the Crucible of the Holocaust), Mishne Sachir on the Torah, and Mishne Sachir on the holidays were published by his descendants.
