Treasure Trove: Novellae by the Rosh Yeshivah of Chevron, the Gaon Rabbi Aharon Cohen. Including an Emotional Account of the 1929 Pogrom. Unprinted - Torah I studied under duress endures Group of [7] thick notebooks [with over 1100 pages!] full to the brim with deep Torah insights in all Torah subjects. Entirely in the penmanship of the ilui  of the Chevron yeshivah who later became the rosh yeshivah, the gaon and tzaddik Rabbi Aharon Cohen. Chevron and Jerusalem, 1927-1957. Most of these insights are apparently unprinted. These Torah novellae were written over thirty years, from the years of his youth in the Chevron yeshivah when he was considered the biggest talmid chacham among the students there [as attested by his father-in-law, who told this to his daughter before she became engaged to Rabbi Aharon] and through his later years, when he was appointed rosh yeshivah in place of his great father-in-law, the gaon Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein. These novellae discuss all Torah topics, primarily deep scholarship of the dozens of tractates in the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud - but also issues of drush , derashot for holidays and more.

Aside from the huge Torah value of the hundreds of leaves of Torah insights by one of the leading rosh yeshivahs of recent generations, some of which undoubtedly served as the basis for his renowned series of sefarim , Beit Aharon, which was mostly published posthumously. But the majority was apparently never published. This is an item of exceptional historic value about one of the terrible chapters in the history of the Jewish people in Israel and the private history of the Chevron yeshivah - the 1929 pogrom, which is marked in the pure blood of the yeshivah's students. In the notebook of Torah insights from 1929, on page 49a of the notebook, suddenly right in the middle of one of the chiddushim  (something that never repeats) and following them, in different ink, there is a jarring notation in the author's script: ”I wrote this right before the pogrom of Erev Shabbat, parashat   Ekev” [the day of the pogrom]: On the blank part of the leaf, there is a coarse notation in Arabic, apparently written by one of the attackers: ”Halas, dunatam ya Yahud bi'amr [Hashem?]” Which translates approximately to: ”That's it, Jews, your fate is sealed by G-d's command.” The rest of the notebook was written already in Jerusalem, and on the next page, it says ” B'Ezrat Hashem  erev Shabbat of Parashat Shoftim 1929, Jerusalem ...” That same fateful Friday, the most outstanding disciple of the yeshivah, the young avreich  Aharon - who had just two months previously celebrated his marriage [in Iyyar, 1929] with much pomp to the rosh yeshivah's daughter, Tzilah, was sitting and writing his Chiddushei Torah . When the murderers arrived, he was forced to flee, leaving his notebook in place, and ran for his life. The danger was so clear and present that he didn't even close his notebook! Only after the pogrom ended was the notebook returned to Rabbi Aharon. Thirty years later, when Rabbi Aharon brought his sefer  to print, he expressed his gratitude to Hashem for the good He granted him from the beginning of his life, and his debt of gratitude and appreciation for being saved during those turbulent times: ”The terrible decree was upon us during the pogrom of 1929, when a sharp sword was at our throats, and at the last minute He sent His angel to save us and also told the angel of destruction to hurry and distinguish between the living and the dead, as is known to every one of us.” Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Aharon Cohen .
