PRICE REALIZED $425
A rare prayer-book from this Belorussian town, which was a center of Jewish cultural and political activity. Bobruisk is particularly associated with the Kopust offshoot of Chabad Chassidim, due to the lengthy leadership there of Shemaryah Noach Schneersohn, from 1869 until his death in 1926. Although the title-page curiously states the prayers to be both Nusach Aschkenaz and Nusach Sephard, the rite is indeed Nusach Aschkenaz only.
