Classic Chidushei Rabbeinu Chaim HaLevi – Brisk, 1936. First edition.

Chidushei Rabbeinu Chaim HaLevi, novella and commentaries on the Rambam, Rabbi Chaim HaLevi Soloveichik.

This is the first edition of the most fundamental scholarly work of all time.

R' Chaim Halevy Soloveitchik, known as R. Chaim Brisker (1853- 1918), was a great Talmudic scholar and innovator of the popular ‘Brisker’ approach to Talmud study; a method of highly exacting and analytical study that focuses on precise definitions and categorizations of Jewish law, with a particular emphasis on the Rambam. Following ten years as a Rosh Yeshiva in the renowned Volozhiner Yeshiva, he succeeded his father as Rav of Brisk. His primary work, Chidushei Rabbeinu Chaim Halevy, a volume of insights on the Rambam, was published posthumously by his sons and is a fundamental text studied in all Yeshivos. Additionally, R. Chaim, whose matzeiva describes him as Rav Ha’Chesed (master of charitable generosity), was also intensely involved in charitable endeavors, literally giving away all he had in order to assist the needy.
