Dear Colleagues--
I received a request from a patron this morning for the date of composition
of a responsum by Rav Isser Yehuda Unterman, which appears on p. 54 in the
1983 collection of his responsa, "Shevet mi-Yehuda". In that printing the
responsum is number 21, and is entitled, "Im mutar la-asot nituah plasti
basar shel met la-guf hai". All he says in the text about when he wrote
the responsum is that it it was reprinted from the journal, "Kol Torah". I
checked our copies of the journal for the 1960's, but did not find the
relevant responsum. Given the contemporary nature of the topic, I doubted
that he wrote it in the 1950's, so did not go that far back. I think it
likely that he wrote the responsum sometime in the last seven years of his
life (i.e. 1969-1976), but cannot confirm that assumption since we don't
have those issues of "Kol Torah". I would be most grateful if one of you
with access to those issues would check them for me, and send me the
citation for the responsum.
Thanks much.
