Agudas Yisroel Polemic. Zichron Yehuda. Lot of censored and uncensored editions. Budapest 1923.
Halachic responsa by R. Yehuda Greenwald. Part one. Two variant editions.
On pages 156-157 there is a lengthy responsum (dated 1913), written to R. Yosef Chaim Sonenfeld, expressing disbelief that R. Sonenfeld was associated with the Agudas Yisroel movement, and includes an extensive exposition of R. Greenwald’s opinion of Agudas Yisroel. This responsum was omitted and replaced with another in a second edition, printed the same year, also included in this lot.
