Levovitz was the Mashgiach Ruchani of the Mirrer Yeshiva in Poland. One of the great exponents of Mussar. He was a talmid or Rav Simcha Zissel Broida one of the foremost disciples of Rabbi Yisroel Salanter. Below are eight fascicles printed in Shanghai. The first three fascicles were first published before the Holocaust in Baranovitch, the fourth was published in Kaiden due to the war. For a period during 1940, the town served as home to about 300 students and teachers from the Mir Yeshiva. After WWII, much of orthodox Jewry in Europe was wiped out, along with their many yeshivas (Jewish schools of higher learning) . One of the only yeshivas to survive as a whole body was the Mir Yeshiva, which managed to escape miraculously to Shanghai, China, and then on to America. Many of the new leaders of the American and Israeli yeshivas in the post-war period were students of the Mir, and thus followers of Rabbi Leibovitz. SUBJECTS: Litvak Holocaust Displaced Persons.

8vo, br. ed. pp.326. Quels sont les rapports entre les temps, les rythmes sociaux et les pratiques liées à l'alimentation ? Dans quelle mesure celles-ci contribuent-elles à l'organisation du temps quotidien et des calendriers ? Dans quelle mesure sont-elles, en retour, réglées par les contraintes du temps ? On ne peut répondre à ces questions sans embrasser la diversité anthropologique, historique et sociale des conceptions et des usages du temps. Les études réunies dans ce volume invitent à des approches croisées : par exemple entre le temps des consommateurs et celui des producteurs, entre le temps des cultures sans horloge et le temps des sociétés hyperponctuelles, entre les civilisations qui associent temps linéaire et temps cyclique et celles qui ne croient qu'à un seul temps. Traiter du temps sous l'angle de l'alimentation aide, en spécifiant une notion spontanément concédée à la physique et à la philosophie, à la faire entrer dans le champ des sciences humaines
