I had no idea I was actually in the Rivevos Efraim!...



...until I stumbled across myself tonight, courtesy of hebrewbooks.org, in Chelek 4. A teshuva written to me back in '82 (or perhaps the beginning of '83)! Here it is (the pages are in reverse order, that's my fault for uploading them that way):

  1. Was the Nesivos was excited that Reb Akiva Eiger brought him in his teshuvos? Reb Meir Simcha because he's quoted in the Mishna Berura? I would say the same logic would apply here.

  2. It may be my katnus d'mochin, but in the early '80's I had an extensive correspondence with the Rivevos, and thought none of it was published, so I was very pleasantly surprised when this popped up!

  3. No, it's not katnus hamochin, what I meant was that it could be reasonably asserted that your stature is such that you and the Rivevos are, for citational authority, despite the age difference, peers.

  4. I don't answer Amen to that ברכה.
