KHAYIM-YITSKHOK
ME-RIDIK (= from Ridik)
He hailed from Sonek, eastern
Galicia. He served as a religious judge
in Sonek, Przemyśl, and Lemberg. He authored religious texts in Hebrew and in
Judeo-German, such as: Matses mitsve
(The commandment of matzo), “here is stated the laws for baking matzo in ‘Yiddish’
[Taytsh], so that everyone should know how to comport themselves, should be sure
to avoid banned leavened goods, and should know how to fulfill the commandment
to eat matzo; also stated here are the laws of searching for leaven” (Lemberg,
1872), 14 pp., with a preface in Hebrew; and Dinim fun yedn tog un fun shabes un yontef (Laws of every day and
of the Sabbath and holidays) (Lemberg, 1873), 64 pp. These booklets—genuine rarities—were filmed
in the Schiff collection of the New York Public Library.
