Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with responsive texts from “Tsemah tsedeq“ by Menahem Mendel Krochmal, who lived in Moravia in the first half of the 17th century. The authors first mention the importance of rabbinical responsive literature as a valuable source of historical data and then analyse some of Krochmal’s responsive texts depicting the tension existing inside Jewish communities in that period (cf. A. Frankl-Grün: Geschichte der Juden in Kremsier, Breslau 1896).
