Classic: Tzion L'Nefesh Chaya. Tz'lach Beitzah. First Edition. Prague 1799. Lacking last page.
Classic work of novella on Maseches Beitzah by R. Yechezkel Landau. Published by his son R. Yisroel. Mentioned in the introduction are approbations by R. Pinchos HaLevi Horowitz (the Haflo’ah), R. Yeshaya Pick and R. Meshulam Igra.
R. Yechezkel Landau (1713-1793), was born in Opatow and studied in the great yeshivas of Ludmir and Brody. He served first as a Dayan in Brody and later as a Rav in Yampol. Whilst in Yampol, “his reputation preceded him” to the renowned Jewish community of Prague who retained him as Rav, where he served until his passing. He was held in awe by his rabbinical contemporaries as well as by the masses, and was greatly respected in government circles. World famous as one of the most prominent rabbinical leaders of his generation, he led a great Yeshiva and authored many important works, including his classic halachic responsa Noda B’Yehuda (after which he is known), Dogul Mer’vavah on the Shulchan Aruch and Tzion L’Nefesh Chaya (abbreviated as Tz’lach) on the Talmud.
