Babylonian Talmud Brachot Tractate – Including German Translation by Ephraim Feiner
Babylonian Talmud, Brachot tractate, including Ashkenazi translation (German), by Ephraim Moshe Feiner. Berlin, 1842. Only edition.
The author spent ten years publishing this book, his objective was to publish the Babylonian and Jerusalemite Talmud with a German translation in twenty eight volumes and for that purpose he gathered approbations and subscribers from all corners of the world, Jews and gentiles.
In 1834 Feiner was granted an approbation from the Chatam Sofer, who immediately retreated and removed his approbation. After the author continued using the copy of the letter of the Chatam Sofer and publishing it in his book Mevaser Tov, the Chatam Sofer was forced to publish his letter, opposing the publication of this translation into German by Dr. Feiner. Eventually, the Chatam Sofer succeeded in his struggle and only this tractate was printed. [For additional information regarding this matter see: Rabbi Y. Goldhaber, Yerushateinu, 3, 2009, pages 310-333].
