What Would You Pay To Own The Chazon Ish’s Shulchan Aruch?

Imagine if you could own the Shulchan Aruch used by the Chazon Ish himself, with his own glosses. Any Talmid Chacham who has ever studied the Chazon Ish’s works could only dream of possessing the original book which he studied in. It is both a holy item used by a great scholar and a priceless heirloom to pass down from generation to generation.

This is just one of a veritable treasure trove of fascinating and valuable manuscripts and items which the Genazym auction house are offering at a special sale Which you can participate online at Genazym.com.  The items also include an 8-page pamphlet of Chidushei Torah by the Chatam Sofer written in his own handwriting, about which his contemporary Rabbi Mordechai Banet declared that “just looking at his holy handwriting leads a person to fear of Hashem.” A document of Semicha granted by Rabbi Banet himself is also available in this collection.

Giants and luminaries whose works are studied daily by Jews from all walks of life suddenly come alive again when one sees their handwriting in sharp clarity.
