שאפראנער רב'ס dissertation - 1921

א קורצע ביאגראפיע

I know that his kids and eyniklach are somewhat surprised - shocked, really, that this surfaced. They had heard that he burned it before leaving to Hungary, and that meant that it ceased to exist... But some very determined young man went and found it, and it didn't take much to get it. This is the world we live in. I think I heard R. Matisyahu Solomon refer to the computer as a metaphor for וכל מעשיך בספר נכתבים, that everything we do is פארשריבען for all eternity. Even if we think that we burned it. In the case of the Shoproner Rov it was as if he was running from this for the rest of his life. One might say that some of his extreme opinions were   to compensate for all the חכמות חיצוניות that he learned as a child and as a young man. The page "Benutzte Literatur" (page 82 of 85) is a who's who of ספרים חיצונים. Heady stuff.

Received via e-mail from "a friend": "The story goes as follows. Someone told Reb Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg about Shoproner Rav's 'תורת א, to which he replied, "Who, Shimon Posen? I saw his doctoral dissertation and it was full of apikorsus." I heard the story from my friend b'shem his father be'shem the late R. Yitzchok Heilbraun z"l (if you know who that is, if not ask around about the Baal Koreh in the 7:00 o'clock minyan in Pupa Shul on Bedford Ave.) who heard that statement from Weinberg himself. This story makes perfect sense considering Rav Posen published the doctorate in Giessen, Gemany in 1921 and Weinberg studied at the time in Giessen under Paul Khale. What I can't figure out is, how come R. Posen studied in Frankfurt University, and published the dissertation in Giessen. Also, check out the last 2 pages of the doctorate where R. Posen writes some interesting biographic details about himself that do not appear in any biography of him..."

The dissertation of Rav Shimon Yisroel Posen of Shopron - 1921

As a bonus we bring you a few pages from RNK's MOAG where he discusses the Shoproner Rov as well as some of his contemporaries. Fodder for some good conversation, is what this is.

  1. This should only be surprising to someone with no knowledge of history (which I guess would be most of us). We all know the close connection between the German Yekkishe Yidden and the Hungarian Oberlender Yidden. This even existed in America, there was a close kesher between the Washington Heights kehilla and the Viener Kehilla. Don't forget that Rav Breuer was a talmid of the Ksav Sofer, and grew up in Papa (Pupa).

    Of course, if you look at the descendants of both these communities today, it would be hard to believe.

    Also, while it may not be obvious today, there was a streak of Kannaus in Germany as well.

  2. The Shoprone Ruv has a son Pinchus (Pinye) Posen that still lives in Washington Heights. Those who know, know that the Shoprone Ruv was a Talmud of Rav Shamshon Rephael Hirsch before he got to know the Munkatche Ruv.

    I see that this doctorate is messing up all your belief systems.You take out every curse in your arsenal, for your shallow response.
    I guess that since he and the Krasner were the only serious Rabonim of the Satmar dogma, you get excited when they slaughter your holy cow.
    Rebinie haKodesh Baal Likutie Sichas Zetza"l never hid his dissertation, he wanted to be a engineer, and not make Torah Kardem Lachpor Boi, so he worked for a living, even in the USA, there is noting to shed tears for.
    He wrote many letters by the Israeli ship shabos travel saga, and quoted his knowledge on that matter, if you will find kefira in ship building then you are a genius.
    There is not even a Midrash in Shir haShirim against it.

What botters him?! Until i relized the the 2 had a direct impact destroying the אגודה'ס dreams!

    RussianAmerican, Shoproner Ruv was not a talmid of RSRH. He couldn't be one. RSRH died in 1888 while RSYP was born in 1894. As RSYP writes in his autobiography in the back of the dissertation, he was a talmid of R. Solomon Breuer who was a talmid of RSRH. Also, according to Wikipedia, RSYP's father was a dayan in Frankfurt, and he was appointed to the post by RSRH.

    Hirshel, I'm afraid that with ופרצת's comments, you have to add to the post that the Shoproner einiklech are also pissed about it...

    Secondly: What's up with this Uforatzto fellow?! Chill out mate!

    Thirdly: In Australian football there is an expression called playing the man, in contrast to playing for the ball. You are attacking the Rebbe because of Hershel Tzig? It doesn't make sense?!

    Fourthly: We can never know why a tzaddik does something, but I will tell you an interesting point.

    Aside from the numerous halochic novelties the Rebbe was able to explain and innovate because of his scientific knowledge; The Rebbe came to America on a worker's visa! That is how he was saved from the Krig!

  23. What surprises me is that the Lubavitcher Rebbe didn't even attend the Sorbonne or a real college. It seems to have been a technical school. So why did Lubavitchers put up all the years with the criticism of the Rebbe having attended Sorbonne. It seems as if they actually like the idea.

    Same with the claim that the Rebetzin worked in the New York Public Library. After listening to that tape of her deposition, it's apparent that she didn't even have a full command of English. So why put up with all the criticism.

    Someone, please enlighten me.

  26. Cursory reading of Dr Posen's dissertation doesn't show any "apikorsus". It is simply a discourse about scientific truth in particular, comparing different philosophical schools ( Kant, Husserl et.al. )and their views, who might not be in accordance with the Torah Weltanschauung ( a term the Rebbe used several times ) on the topic. Dr Posen does not voice his own opinion of whether these theories a right or wrong or whether he agrees with them.
    To accuse him of "apikorsus" is therefore unfair.
    As he writes at the end his mentor also lectured at Giessen University, which explains why he submitted his thesid there.
    What's more interesting, is the fact that he had a somewhat limited Jewish education: nine years at the Hirschian school in Frankfurt, which at that time had only two or three hours of Limmude Koidesh, followed by a few years at a nonjewish high school (Gymnasium) and two or three years at the Breuer Yeshivoh. Most probably he had private tutors or was instructed by his father.

  28. The Rebbe did attend Sorbonne proper (besides the technical school associated with Sorbonne), and his diploma was shown in the Chabad library (in case if rabbi Hutner referring to him attending Sorbonne is not enough), as for the dude who claims he did not find any documents in the archives he conveniently omitted the fact of the famous fire that destroyed some parts of Sorbonne's archives.

    The fact remains that he came from a house hold that Maada/Chol was tolerated and ended up raising a family and kehila that limeidei kodesh was exclusive at all ages,

  32. 1. The KAJ dayan in WH is not a son of the Soproner rav. Dayan Posen is the author of Amirah LeBays Yaakov and is a nechbeh el hakelim. One of the last real yekkishe rabbonim.
    2. It was not at all unusual in Germany to take classes in 1 university and then write your dissertation in another place. The dissertation in Germany was some what different than it is in the US.
    3. Marc Shapiro points ou that Rav Weinberg was never awarded a doctorate.

    4. The fact that Rabbi Posen was a rabbiner doktor was never a secret. Even I knew that.
    5. I heard from the grandson of the last Soproner shochet (Rosenfeld) that in `1944 the rav fled his kehillo to Budapest leaving no one in charge. The shochet took command in those dark days. My informant tells em his grandfather who survived would have nothign to do with a man who deserted his ship first and left the kehillo to be led by the shochet. If this story is true its a lot worse indictment of the man's character than writing a good dissertation in Germany.

  34. KAJ in WH is no more kanaoisdik as far as Zionism goes than the average yeshivashe community in Lakewood or Flatbush.
    Only a few old men keep up the Kannoiesdik position.
    The middle aged people and the few young people(the community is not replacing itself and few of its youth remain in WH) basically have an Aguda position about Zionism. Many of the grads of the yeshiva in the 1960s and later are even very pro Israel.
    Rabbi Schwab was very active in the Aguda unlike Rav Dr. Breuer. I doubt that Rabbis Gelley or Mantel are kanoim either.
    The leaders of the kanoim were Rabbis Breuer and Breslauer and they are long in Olam haemes.The only kannaus left in KAJ is against its neighbor YU... and many of its yeshivashe trained rebbeim hardly like our brothers in CH to say the least and that is a major change in the last 30 years.

  35. Ahron Marcus was a much more complex person than portrayed in Hasid from Hamburg. In order to see his true face (perhasp his mind)you need to read his Hachasidismus in the original German and what he writes about subjects we do not talk about here.
    Of course the Hebrew translation was given a sanitization.Marcus is hardly reliable as a historian or source for Jewish or Chassidic history.

    The Rayaatz did not leave Russia in 1918 either he stayed and led his people.
    Rabbi Rosen unlike most of the Charedi rabbis did not flee Rumania either . he remained and organized Jewish life there amking sure there were old age homes, shechitah, chedorim etc while for over 100,000 Jews only 3 Orthodox rabbis remained there.
    Being a rav of a kehillo is an achrayus. You just can't agree to be rav for the kavod and none of the Ol harabbanuth.
    In the Warsaw Ghetto rabbis Stockheimer , Szapiro and Ziemba had the opportunity to leave but did not as they were the officially elected rabbonim of Warsaw. They ahd an achrayus. 2of them were killed.

  52. I think it is a chutzpah and downright silly to pass judgment on how certain Rabbonim responded to the circumstances during the Holocaust.Does anyone here really know all the details of all the facts? These are people who lived model lives before and after the war; why assume they acted selfishly during the War? Every Rov had to make his own painful decision of what was better, remaining and possibly being killed or saving one's own life which the Torah gives top priority. And even if someone failed at that particular nisayon, are you so sure that you what have acted better?

Does it make any sense to Goyim , you bet it does not !, say hello to them , sit in the aprk with them volunteer on local do good patrols. Certainly they are no worse than your Arab buddies ?, maybe even pay taxes together. You know rav Shlomo Kluger came out against this sort of settlement in aletter to the heiliker Ruzhiner. as well.
    Friend (greyse historiker) You ever hear of all the civil wars going on in the former Soviet Union since the country fell apart.
    lets see Soviet Georgia(the Geirgian defense chief is miBnai israel),
    Chechinya which includes mass murder through terror attacks in European Russia on a fairly routine basis. How about terror via explosions on aircraft massacres in theatres in Moscow vechuli vechuli.
    But I forgot what I write is all Zionist propoganda, the truth is that the USSR fell apart peacefully , tell that to all the victims of radical Muslim terror and the rest of the civil wars that plague post Communsit Russia.
    Even if 1 Jewish life is the price for the end of Israel its one life too many.

    "You ever heard of the powerfull soviet union which instilled fear worldwide? what happened to it? did it disolve peacefully or did we had WWIII חכם עתיק"
    The Usa and the western world w3aqs not eager to have a war, it is the opposite,they wanted to end id peacefull, they did not want to rid all ruusians from russian land..
    what a ferd u have to be for thoughts like this.
    Russia was never threatened to be wiped out by some ruler ...
    BTW,where is there prohibited in Shulchan Aruch or in Rambam that Jews can not have a independent country before Moshiach?
    In my Shulchan Orech hilchas shabbos there is a obligation to defend every yishuv where thereis a kibbutz of Jews residing, may it be Orange county,Rockland county,Kings country or Eretz Hakodesh where the Ungarishe Hiezer and it Bies Din exist.Please notify me if there is a other code of laws for Orthodox Jews outside of Rambam shulchan Orech...

  56. Schneur, your remarks are typical Ma Ahane Lon Rabunon,and your examples are ridicules ,

    All the happenings of the universe are for one reason,they shall be the cause for the Jews to be Transitory, For Hashem does not want to destroy them, just to punish them into expatriate,
    A people in transition without leadership is part of the Hashems plan that some leaders shall arrive first to the new destination, and some shall depart last,it all fits into the words of Loi MiAstim V'Loi GiAltim L'Chalosom.
    Of course your fellow Hertzlites don't agree to Hashems plan of punishment so you are paraphrasing their dogma to praise the Partisans who did not move without a fight and to degrade Rabunim who succeed to escape

    where is there prohibited in Shulchan Aruch or in Rambam that Jews can not have a independent country before Moshiach

    5 times in Bavli is mentioned The words of the Amoira Shmuel the biggest poisek in his Generation that says: That Mesihachs SOLE ASSIGNMENT is to establish a Jewish Sovereignty, for Jews to have their own government ,all other attributes to Meshiach can be (and are)disputed,
    The Rambam brings down LeHalucha the words of Shmuel as just Umri Chacumim and states that who ever does not WAIT for Mushiach (as described by Shmuel) is an Apikoires

    Before the coming of meshiach being part of a municipality under the sovereignty of a non Jewish government is permissible,

    Before the coming of meshiach defending Jewish neighborhoods is permissible only under the framework of the non Jewish government

  61. The sholosh sehvuos fools ignore the fact that imrei emes and most polishe gedolim held its not lmaaseh because its aggadateh and not brought down in the rambam. And so does the avnei nezer pasken. But you could talk to a wall to these Hungarian fools Ryt couldn't make a mistake. He simply was fool proof. Look he said according to his shitah, that people will not be able to live under the secular, and we are seeing the opposite, the secular are complaining that the frume have too much power.

    the more you talk, the more everyone realizes that you people are having a torah chadosha, with no basis in halacha, better you don't touch the source part.
    Who said Shmuel the Amora is not big he probably could be Mechaye Maisim, but still the shulchan aruch or the Rambam does not put a straight forward halacha that you can not have a independent country in south America, Asia, etc....

  65. HERE IS THE BASICS ABOUT MESHIACH

    1) Waiting for Meshiach for what ?
    Shmuel the Emoira says:
    That Mesihachs SOLE ASSIGNMENT is to establish Jewish Sovereignty for Jews to have their own government ,
    all other attributes to Meshiach can be and are disputed,(that the rest can be done by meshiachs underlings).

    2) The above statement is
    repeated 5 times in Bavli

    3) The Rambam brings it down in Hilches Meluchim as a Universal statement that NO One argues on it,

    5)Then the Rambam continues that anyone who does not WAIT for Meshiach to establish the Jewish state is an APIKORES,

    6)The satmer rav was highlighting the Shlosh Shevues , because the Shulosh Shevues has a terrible punishment attached to it that if JEWS violate the oath (or plan to violate)to create a state, besides being an apikoires Jews become free to to be destroyed

    7) As a holocaust survivor he felt the reason he was spared is to scream out against the Jews who don't wait for meshiach so maybe his words will spare us from another holocaust.

    8) I know Hitler or Achchmajinadad don't pasken from agadeta but they have to listen to their Surei Maleh
    HASHEM YERACHEM

  66. Mr. Waiter and others have recently adopted the position of Shmuel because the Natruna and NK had no answer to Reb Yoel Kahan's answer to the SR in which he clearly shows that the current medineh has nothing to do with the geulah and is therefore acceptable. There was no answer to this position in Satmar circles so some clever ones decided that they would jettison the miracles and supernatural stuff and run the argument based on Shmuel's statement about shibud malchiyos.I'm sorry but I will never believe that the SR felt that yemos hamoshiach did not have a major supernatural component well beyond merely having an independent political state.Maybe Rabbi Hirsch of Frankfurt believed that but the Satmarer Rebbe?Isn't it fundamental Hassidic belief that the Beis haMikdosh hashlishi will descend fully built from heaven? That's not supernatural? And the Rambam does say that Moshiach will rebuild the Bais ha Mikdosh.It says so in Hilchos Melochim.And what about techiyas hameisim?The Rambam also says that yemos hamoshiach will bring world peace and an end to human suffering as stated in Yeshayah?Do you deny that too?

    Outside of the Misnachlim talmidie talmidim of Rav Kook Z"L, nobody looks at current Israeli sovereignty, as messianic, Everyone still pray for moshiach 3 times a day.It is a just a yishuv in Eretz Yosroel with noting pertaining to Shmuel, and it has to protected for the sake of our brothers who live there.
    Again there is no halachic source to prohibit a yishuv in eretz yisroel before Moshiach..

    Holy Dayan, from where do u know all this facts? Also did the Shoproner know all the facts on all the people that he attacked?
    He was part of the leading a vicious war on all Jews that did not agree with his philosophy, did he check all the time if they fasted for their sins?

  74. un-refutable Ben Hecht ז"ל?

    Do you even know who Ben Hecht was. He was a Revisionist Zionist. So he still is not good in your books. Married 2 non-jewish women.

    Ben Hecht is the darling of the Hareidi world - they don't realize that he was an ardent Zionist.

    BTW IDK who this shygetz was not exactly a Revisionist, He himself writes it and he was from the אצ"ל לח"י'ניקס whom he feels deserve credit in capturing the land from the arabs/UK not the impowerd צה"ל הגנה , that was the agenda of his! So he exposes who the real הגנה is!

    If I’ll quote The ויוא"מ, או מן המיצר, טוב השניים המתנבאים בסגנון אחד your skull will not budge! So I’m trying one of your kind a true Zionist to be the כתוב השלישי, יבוא הנס מכל מקום!

  76. I'm working on a translation.

  77. Here is a translation of the last page.

    Curriculum vitae (CV).

    I, Simon Posen was born on 20 July 1894 at Frankfurt am Main, the son of Rabbi Gershon poses. I'm [of the] Jewish religion. I visited [learned] from Easter [Passover] 1900 to Easter [Passover] 1909, the pre-school and school of "israelitischen Religionsgesellschaft" [Kehilath Jeschurun] at Frankfurt am Main and entered Easter [Passover] 1909 in the upper fifth of the Wohler-secondary school, in this school I was the Easter [Passover] 1912 Graduate. I now first studied Talmudic studies at the Frankfurt Talmud Huehschule "Torah-School" headed by Mr. Rabbi Dr. Breuer. Since the winter semester 1914/15 I was also enrolled at the University of Frankfurt, where I devoted myself for the first semester mainly philosophical and historical studies. My studies I had to break at the end of the summer semester 1915, for several years since I moved since the end of June for military service from October 1915 until after the conclusion of the field war. After my return and discharge from the military services at the beginning of 1919 I took my studies at the University of Frankfurt am Main on again. Even now I pursued mainly philosophical studies, but also occupied myself more with historical studies, by working in the areas of logic and the theory of knowledge I was soon also applied to mathematical studies.

    Since the beginning of the winter term 1920/21 I am also in the lectures of Professor Messers Leitung standing philosophical seminar in great part.
    During this time, encouraged by Professor Messer's advice and teaching my dissertation. For which I again express my heartfelt thanks.

    During my studies I attended the lectures of professors and lecturers Bieherhach, Burckhardt, Cnrnelius, Hasse, Hellinger, Kern, Küntzel. v. Martin, Messer, Opnenheimet. Petersen, Schneider, Schultze. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you.
