Books of Nechemia Samuel Libowitz
Nechemiah Shmuel Libowitz was born in 1862 in the Lomza region where he received his Torah education. In 1881 he emigrated to the United States where he dealt in the diamond trade, dividing his time between business and writing. Libowitz was a bibliographer and a prolific writer, who wrote dozens of works. He also owned a huge Judaica library. Many of his works were printed in very limited editions. In 1927, he immigrated to Eretz Israel, but immediately returned to the U.S. where he passed away in 1939 in New York.
