Long autograph letter (2 large closely-written pages) signed by R. Simcha Bunim Ginz-Eiger, who signed: "Bunim Ginz of E.S." [Eisenstadt]. "Ma.D." [Mattersdorf], 1822. Family letter to his son R. Moshe Ginz, to his daughter-in-law Ms. Ritcha and to his granddaughter Tzirel. The letter is mainly composed of Torah discussion; however, it opens and closes with family matters and regards to various people. Before the signature, R. Eiger reports of happy family tidings upon the birth of a son to his brother R. Akiva Eiger and a daughter to his brother's son-in-law, the Chatam Sofer: "Before I conclude this letter, I bless you with a triple blessing, upon the bar-mitzvah of Zvi Yehuda, and upon the birth of a son to my brother, and the birth of a daughter to his son-in-law, Rabbi of the Pressburg community. G-d should always bring us joy with good tidings. While visiting Eisenstadt staying at my brother's home, I received a letter from my brother with the blessed news of the birth of his son…". At the end of the letter are three lines in the handwriting of one of R. Bunim's sons, who also writes of the joyous news in the home of their uncle R. Akiva Eiger and his son-in-law the Chatam Sofer: "I too... send regards and triple good wishes upon the birth of a son to our modest sister, and a son to our uncle R. Akiva and a daughter to his son-in-law, G-d should continue always bringing us joy and good tidings to send one to another". Rabbi Simcha Bunim Ginz-Eiger Rabbi of Mattersdorf (Mattersburg) (1770-1829), younger brother and Torah companion of Rabbi Akiva Eiger, was an outstanding Torah genius of his times. He served as Rabbi of Rogoźno (Posen region), and in 1810 succeeded the Chatam Sofer in the Mattersdorf rabbinate. The Chatam Sofer sent him many responsa, and his high regard for R. Simcha Bunim is obvious from the titles used in these responsa. Dozens of responsa written to Rabbi Simcha Bunim appear in the responsa of his brother Rabbi Akiva Eiger, and he refers to him with great esteem: "…If my brother the Torah genius agrees with this…"; "I was very happy to see that you approved of my thoughts" (at the end of the book Drush V'Chiddush); "…And if this does not seem acceptable to my brother, my words shall be void" (ibid); "…All these are hidden from my blind eyes, perhaps you have ways to understand me and explain our Rabbis' words properly" (ibid); "My lowly opinion is nullified before your great opinion" (Ginzei Rabbi Akiva Eiger, 13); "Inform me your lofty thoughts about this… Your friend, who is attached to you with love" (a compilation with a collection of about 40 letters of correspondence between the great brothers named Alei Esev was published in London in 1995). Among his famous sons and sons-in-law are R. Moshe Ginz-Schlesinger who wrote this manuscript; R. Yosef Ginz-Schlesinger (son-in-law of his uncle's wife); R. Shmuel and his renowned son-in-law Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ulman Av Beit Din of Makova and author of Yeri'ot Shlomo. His son, the recipient of this letter: R. Moshe Ginz-Schlesinger (died 1857), beloved disciple of his uncle Rabbi Akiva Eiger. Served as rabbi in Wieluń (near Posen). In 1830, he was accepted to the Hamburg Kloiz in the Beit Midrash of Rabbi Leib son of R. Shaul (see Igrot Sofrim, Letters of Rabbi Akiva Eiger, 22, Rabbi Akiva Eiger writes to his brother Rabbi Bunim: "…to give good tidings that your son my friend the clever Rabbi Moshe became a resident of the Beit Midrash in Hamburg…"). He prepared for print much of the teachings of his uncle Rabbi Akiva Eiger, as cited in the introduction of Drush V'Chidush. His name is repeatedly mentioned in the writings of Rabbi Akiva Eiger and of the Chatam Sofer. See: Chachmei Altona, Hamburg and Wandsbek (Hamburg, 1908, p. 119). Leaf, approximately 24 cm. Written on both sides. Fair condition, worn margins (repaired with paper filling).
