R' galsaba:
I am looking for a book written by HaRav Menachem Meshiv Nefesh.
The name of the book is:
"Merkevet Hamishnah , Contras Breichot BeCheshbon".
 
I learned about this book when I read Masechet Pesachim Daf 89 Amud 2.
"Artscroll" bring there a beatiful peirush to the story of Rav Huna that
share his Pesach with Rav Papa, and then with Rabina. Rav Huna said then: "A
hundred Papas rather than one Rabina".
 
I liked the peirush of Harav Menachem Meshiv Nefesh, and I would like to
read more.
Anyone knows how I can get the book?




It looks like the citation was a bit confusing. I didn't see the Artscroll,
but the _sefer_ Menachem Meishiv Nefesh (written by R' Menachem Manish
Halperin) cites a different sefer, Mirkeves Hamishneh (written by R' Shlomo
ben Moshe Machlama), which has in it a section titled Kuntres Breichos
B'cheshbon. That section is about fifteen pages long, towards the end of the
second volume of Mirkeves Hamishnah. It looks like this Kuntres is about
various mathematically-inclined Sugyos. BTW, I am not sure which Pshat the
Artscroll, quotes, but it seems that the Menachem Meishiv Nefesh's Pirush is
not the same as the Mirkeves Hamishnah's.
