Manuscript of the Chatam Sofer – Homily for 7th Adar – Mattersdorf, 1805
Leaf (two written pages – 63 lines) handwritten by R. Moshe Sofer – the Chatam Sofer. [Mattersdorf, 1805].
Passages of a homily for 7th Adar, 1805, during the Chatam Sofer's tenure as rabbi of Mattersdorf. The heading on the first page reads "With the help of G-d, 7th Adar".
This leaf contains an explanation on the verses in which G-d instructs Moshe to throw his staff to the ground before Pharaoh, and it turned into a snake (Shemot 4:2-3); as well as the verse "and his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, if Mordechai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish stock, you will not prevail against him…" (Esther 6:13).
This homily was printed in Chatam Sofer – Derashot, Vol. I, pp. 335b-336a (Klausenberg 1929), under the heading: "Parashat Vayikra, homily for 7th Adar 1805".
