Handwritten manuscript. 100 page notebook of Chiddushim and Pilpulim said in Shabbos Shuva and Shabbos Hagadol sermons, handwritten by the righteous Gaon Rabbi Moshe Hersch Fuchs, Av Beis Din of Großwardein, author of Responsa “Yad Ramah”, from the illustrious Rabbis of Hungary. Most of the content has never been printed. – Großwardein, 1897-1905.


Long and deep discourses, Chiddushim which were said in the Shabbos Hagadol and Shabbos Shuva sermons in Großwardein by the Gaon and Tzaddik, Rabbi Moshe Hersch Fuchs, Av Beis Din of the community there.
 Most of the contents were never published, but some parts of it were printed in his great Sefer, Responsa Yad Ramah.

In one place he copies at length “a copy of a letter which I had written to
my father, master, and teacher, the Gaon to resolve some difficulties which he wrote to me…in honor of
my father, master, and teacher the famous and sharp Gaon… our master Rabbi Wolf Fuchs, Av Beis Din of Sereď…” at the end of the 12-page letter he signs
“Moshe Hersch Fuchs”.

The notebook contains several comments from his son Rabbi Daniel Fuchs (passed away in 1957), which were written when his father was still alive, some are long and some are short, some are signed by him and some simply begin with the words “Said Daniel”. On page 32 he copies a gloss on the ‘Magen Avraham’ from his father, which he found written on the margin of his father’s Shulchan Aruch. On pg. 44b he writes: “Said Daniel: I will write here a small crumb which I have heard said in the name of my master, teacher and grandfather the Gaon ZT”L (Rabbi Zev Wolf Fuchs Av Beis Din of Sereď)… and this I heard in the name of my master, teacher, and grandfather the Gaon ZT”L from his disciple Rabbi Tzvi Zaltzman – Daniel Fuchs”.

The Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Moshe Hersch Fuchs (1843-1911) was the distinct disciple of the Ksav Sofer. His Rebbe, the Ksav Sofer even gave him his responsa on Orach Chaim to look over and proofread before going to print. In 1875 he began to serve in the Rabbinate of Sereď, and in 1882 was appointed the Av Beis Din of the Orthodox community in Großwardein, a community which numbered several myriads of congregants (the second-largest community after Budapest). Stood at the head of a large Yeshiva where hundreds of students learned. At the beginning of WWII a portion of his responsa were printed in “Responsa Yad Ramah” (Großwerdein, 1940).
