Harav Yosef Shaul Halevi Nathanson (1808-1875) served as Rav of Lvov for two decades and was regarded as ‘a genius among geniuses.’ He was the undisputed Torah luminary of his generation and corresponded extensively in halachah with Rabbanim around the world. Even in his childhood, he was praised for his supreme character and righteousness, and he was esteemed by the Chasam Sofer and other gedolim of his generation who unanimously commended his prodigious halachic work.
Written correspondence between Harav Chaim of Sanz and Harav Yosef Shaul Halevi attests to the great esteem in which the Divrei Chaim held the Shoel U’meishiv.
Lvov, 1865. Minor tears in right margin with few letters missing. This responsum was not published in Shu”t Shoel U’meishiv.
