Important work by one of the foremost preachers who lived during the first generation of Chassiduth, was published by his grandson in Lemberg, 1883-1886 with the enthusiastic approbations of the great Chassidic Rabbis of the time. Including; R. Mendel of Viznitz, R. Chanoch of Alesk, R. Chazkel Halberstam of Shineva, R. Solomon Halberstam of Bobov and the scions of the Rizhiner Dynasty, R. Matityahu of Stefanesht and R. Isaac of Bohush. It is quite uncommon and a fine testament to find so many Chassidic approbations in a new work. An extensive study of the work was published by Prof. M. Piekarsz in Tarbiz, who states that it would be important to see the manuscript to verify the meaning of certain passages. Bound With: Nine leaves of Hebrew manuscript, dated 1824. Containing: A lengthly introduction to a collection of Pesukei Bitachon.The scribe states that these verses were printed in the Sepher Taha’oth Ha’Kodesh, with many errors which have been corrected. And: Dinei Tevilath Nashim Be’erev Shabbath. [The laws of Immersion of women on the Eve of Sabbath] by Aaron Moses of Brod Me’geza Tzvi Margolioth, with an addendum.
