Two letters from the archive of R. Shmuel Salant regarding the status of the city of Gaza - is it a part of the Holy Land and and whether one or two days of holiday should be practiced there. * Letter handwritten and signed by R. Chanoch Zundel, son of R. Yitzchak Salant, sent to R. Shmuel Salant. Gaza, [1883?]. R. Chanoch asks R. Shmuel about milling flour during Chol Hamoed of Passover and about observing Yom Tov Sheni in Gaza. * Handwritten leaf, halachic responsum "regarding the city of Gaza, is it a part of the Holy Land, and does one celebrate there one or two days of holiday". Two pages in Rashi-Eastern handwriting. The author also writes about the renewed Jewish settlement in Gaza, after 60 years during which Jews did not live in the city. The unsigned responsum ends with "This is my humble opinion, may G-d preserve us from error and enlighten us in His Torah, that we may merit serving him truthfully." The letter and the responsum were printed in Torat Rabbenu Shmuel Salant, (Jerusalem, 1999, vol. I, section 10, pp. 49-52). The responsum is attributed to R. Shmuel Salant himself, but it was probably written by a Sephardic rabbi in Jerusalem. R. Chanoch Zundel, son of R. Yitzchak of Salant passed away in 1897 and was buried in Petach Tikva (Avnei Zicaron, Grayevsky, IX, p. 15). He is evidently R. Chanoch Zundel of Salant who moved to Eretz Israel in ca. 1840, and is mentioned in 1841 in the introduction to Sefer Avnei Zicaron by R. Avraham, rabbi of Stawiski, "…my friend R. Chanoch Zundel, who was hosted in my home during his journey to the Holy Land, told me that the great R. Chaim of Volozhin would express his regret that the Torah scholar of his generation did not organize the works of responsa together with the Shulchan Aruch". See also Responsa Zecher Yehosef (Even Ha Ezer siman 40), responsum to "the learned R. Chanoch Zundel of Salant". Two leaves. 19-23 cm. Good condition. Folding marks. Minor damages.
