About

Amsterdam has a long standing tradition of rabbinical students writing Responsa, starting in the early 18th century. One responsa was published monthly, for about 80 years until the beginning of the 19th century. This collection is well known as the Pri Ets Haim (PEH) collection. Posted are several introductory works describing the context and collection. The Studia Rosenthaliana paper in the PEH collection, includes links to most of the Responsa.

This practice was halted when the Dutch government led an initiative in the early 19th century to better integrate Jews into the overall society. Among its demands was a formal set of rules and procedures for ordaining rabbis. A formal Rabbinical College of Examiners was established, its members government appointed. At the most senior rabbinical level, that of Moré, students were expected to write a number of Responsa, and defend their findings in front of the Examiners. The style of the responsa is reminiscent of the PEH, and the collection of these 19th and 20th century Responsa have been designated as the New Pri Ets Haim or Pri Ets Haim Ha'hadash (PEHH). Posted in this collection is a Studia Rosenthaliana paper on this collection, as well as the Responsa for most of the Rabbis ordained at the level of More over this period.
