A Riddle from My Companions

With God’s help

Look for two Torah figures hidden behind the following poem:

A) There are those who choose life, yet among them Haim chose,

of one of the choosers it was said that they sought the left side of the aforesaid,

B) The author of responsa whose beginning is “Tevunah” sealed their name at its end,

and the son of the respondent became famous as a disputant of the author of what those upon the breast indicate—

which rhymes with their hint, and who also expounded Yaarot Devash,

say the word in the first language of your people, and repeat it doubled in the second,

C) The beginning of the first one’s family name was affirmed in the second,

and that of the second—and only here lies the difference—

that by which the second is called, not for going down, and his relative will replace him when he tarries,

but do not forget the beginning of the second in the first,

D) In a well-known electronics company and in a month of the year is hidden the end of the family name,

except for a single intrusion, whose mere tip, according to the proverb, is negligible,

after removing it, half the word missing from the family name will remain in your hand,

and within that half-word is the ending of a famous disease,

—not the one that causes baldness—,

but rather the one that causes people what happens to angels,

at the height of the Days of Awe, when Satan is sent away,

E) And you, pleasant solvers, after the guidance along the paths of the hints—

I shall pour light upon the shadows, out of my great affection for you, dear ones,

look among the communicators, among the giants, supporters of those who gather at the time of those who scatter,

Among those who solve correctly, a seventh-hand Honda with a 270,000 cc engine will not be raffled off.
