Letter by R. Chaim Kitza, Rabbi of Albertirsa (Irsa, Hungary).
Long halachic responsa, on the laws of shechita on Yom Tov. Sent to R. Yehoshua Segal Tauber, Rabbi of Kiskőrös. Written by a scribe, except for the opening lines and the signature which are handwritten by Rabbi Chaim Kitza.
R. Chaim Kitza (ca. 1770-1850), Rabbi of Albertirsa (Irsa), Hungary, author of Otzar Chaim, son of R. Yitzchak Kitza head of the Beit Din of Óbuda (Alt-Ofen). Already at the age of 13, he delivered public discourses in the Óbuda Beit Midrash in the presence of his teacher the Maharam Mintz and hundreds of Torah scholars and resolutely and cleverly debated Torah issues. In 1820, after his brother-in-law R. Amram Chassida (Rosenbaum) made Aliya to Eretz Israel, Rabbi Chaim succeeded him as Rabbi of Albertirsa. His son R. Meir Schlesinger-Kitza served as rabbi of several communities and was closely associated with R. Moshe David Ashkenazi Rabbi of Tolcsva.
The recipient: R. Yehoshua HaLevi Tauber (1818-1884), son of R. Aharon Tauber Rabbi of Bátorove Kosihy (Bátorkesz), author of Yad Aharon. Disciple of R. Pinchas Leib Frieden Rabbi of Komarom and of R. Zvi Hirsh Charif Heller of Óbuda (Alt-Ofen). He was ordained by the Chatam Sofer and by leading rabbis of his times and was appointed Rabbi of Kiskőrös, but harassment by some of its population forced him to leave the city and he relocated to the Nagytétény rabbinate. See the book of novellae by Mahari Katz (Jerusalem, 1959).
