Ma’Harsham and Daas Torah are widely studied

served in various rabbinical positions most notably
Berzhan, after which he is known.

pages, and was given to me as a gift by R. Yaakov

Sholom Mordechai Ha’Cohen Ab’ad Berzhan.”
Indeed the sefer is lacking the first five (including
the title page), and the last four pages.
