Description

FIRST EDITION

summary

The Author (1791-1847), was the son of R. Moshe Eichenstein of Sambor and son-in-law of R. Tzvi Hirsch Eichenstein of Zydachov. He was considered the foremost exponent and kabbalistic expositor of the Zydachov dynasty. Amud ha-Torah was published posthumously by his wife and his son-in-law R. Yecheskel Shraga Halberstam (later known as the Shinaver Rav), who inherited his father-in-law's position in Rozdal. Contains an important approbation by R. Chaim Halberstam of Sanz extolling its "wondrous kabbalistic virtues." Uncommonly, the final leaf contains an afterword signed by the Author's widow, Sarah. See Z. Rabinowicz, The Encyclopedia of Hasidism (1996), pp.107-8

ff. (1), 93 (i.e. 91, mispaginated as in all copies). With signatures and stamps of previous owner "Meir Meshulam Shapiro of Lantzhut." Contemporary half-calf, rubbed and chipped. 4to
