Two large handwritten manuscripts, Chiddushim on Halacha and Agadah and Drushim which were never printed. By the immense Gaon Rabbi Tuvia Yehuda Tavyumi (Guttentag), Av Beis Din of Sochocin, from the leading disciples of the “Avnei Nezer” and the “Imrei Emes”. Sochocin, 1913-1930. Never printed!
Two volumes of handwritten manuscripts, five hundred large pages, in which are brought down many Chiddushim of the Geonim of Poland of his generation and the preceding one., correspondence with them, and elucidations and debates on their words.
The first volume is almost entirely with deep treatises of Chiddushim on the Gemara, Rashi, and Tosafot, and halachic responsa, and was written in 1913. At the beginningis written: “I have started to write in this notebook at the beginning of Winter, 1913. Hashem will give us the merit to innovate correct innovations and to see wonders in His Torah, and to succeed in His work to come to the conclusion that He finds favorable – the young Tuvia, who resides here in Sochocin, son of the Gaon Rabbi Alexander Tzvi OBM”.
The second volume was written during 1930-31. Part of it is treatises of Drush and Agadda on interesting and fascinating subjects, in which he argues and philosophizes with the writings of the Maskilim on one side, and with the gentile philosophers on the other. The other part is long and deep treatises of Chiddushim in Halacha, some of which are long and deep correspondences on the topic of releasing an Aguna which he had with the Gaon, the “Chelkas Yoav”, whom he admired greatly and refers to as
“The Gaon of our generation, the author of “Chelkas Yoav, Shlita.”
In these volumes he discusses several times the words of his distinct Rav, the “Avnei Nezer”. Here is one such quote:
“…and I have seen in a Sefer that was recently printed… a responsum from C”K Admor, Rabbi of the diaspora of Sochatchov ZT”L… but who am I, the young and small, smallest of his small disciples, to argue against his holy words? But this is Torah, and I must understand, and heaven forbid that I should refute his holy words, only to discuss and understand” (vol. II, pg. 49a)
In one of the volumes he brings a question which he heard from his friend the Gaon Rabbi Meir dan Plotzky, author of “Kli Chemda”:
“When I was in Warsaw at the convention of Mo’etzes Gedolei Hatorah, my friend, the Rabbi, Av Beis Din of Ostrów, author of ‘Kli Chemda’ the words of the Gemara… and this Rabbi held that question to be very severe. And when I returned to my home, I looked further into it, and I saw that, indeed, it remains difficult even according to the conclusion…” (ibid. p. 72a)
In his Chiddushim he mentions several times the Chiddushim of “the late Gaon of Bendin”, discusses the Chiddushim of the Gaon Rabbi Avraham of Ciechanow, and discusses a lot in the Chiddushim of the “Agudas Eizov” – the father of the “Avnei Nezer”, and the Chiddushim of “the genius Gaon known for his Sefer ‘Atvan Deoraysa’”, and much, much more.
