This edition of the SHeLa”H’s extensive work on Halachah, Kabbalah and ethical philosophy is considered one of the most beautifully produced of Hebrew printed books. Chassidim consider the publication year of this edition as especially noteworthy, as it was the year the venerable Baal Shem Tov was born.
