Letter of ordination for the rabbinate, handwritten and signed by R. Lipman Stein, Rabbi of Szerdahely. Szerdahely, [1846]. Semicha for his disciple R. Yosef son of R. Yisrael Akiva, using interesting flowery language, in which he relates that R. Yosef has been his disciple for 13 years and was very successful in his studies and has a sharp mind and exceptional fear of Heaven. He eventually became a "perfect man" and can be relied upon to rule Halacha and monetary disputes according to the Shulchan Aruch, with clear comprehension knowing to derive one matter from another. At the end of the semicha, he signs: "Lipman of Szerdahely and its region". The Selish Gaon R. Eliezer Lipman Stein (1778-1851) was a prominent rabbi in his times. He served as Rabbi of Gyöngyös (Dindish) and in 1837 repositioned to the Selish (Vynohradiv) rabbinate. In 1839, he wished to move to Eretz Israel and the Chatam Sofer turned to wealthy individuals to support him financially, and wrote: "…I know him from the past, that he is a great rabbi and very esteemed. He has served in several rabbinates in our county…" (Likutei Michtavim 55). He was delayed on the way and never succeeded in reaching Eretz Israel. In 1841, he was appointed Rabbi of Szerdahely and his ten-year tenure ended with his death in the month of Av 1851. Among his works, the following were printed: the Evel Moshe booklet - eulogy for the Chatam Sofer, and a booklet presenting disapproval of changing the place of the bimah in the synagogue. See: Ishim B'Teshuvot Chatam Sofer, pp. 66-67. His progeny were also famous for Torah knowledge and fear of Heaven: his son R. Mordechai Aryeh Leib Stein Rabbi of Grosswardein (Oradea, died in 1861), a disciple of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz; his son-in-law R. Elazar Furst Rabbi of Gyöngyös (died in 1883), author of Ir Shushan. Apparently, the disciple who received the semicha was a primary disciple of R. Lipman Stein, who studied by him for 13 years [evidently, he was already his disciple at the time R. Lipman still resided in the cities of Gyöngyös and Selish, and R. Yosef followed his rebbe to Szerdahely, because in 1846, R. Lipman had only served for five years in the Szerdahely rabbinate]. Leaf, approximately 23 cm. Good-fair condition, wear and minor tears. Sealed with red wax (blurred).
