Includes a defense of the alleged Sabbatianism of the author's grandfather, R. Israel Jaffe of Shklov. In order to clear the name of his grandfather, the author gathered approximately 70 approbations of some of the most distinguished Rabbis of the generation. See B. Naor, Post Sabbatian Sabbatianism, pp. 89-94. A side curiosity is found by the author quoting a comment (f. 5b )in the name of my "master and teacher," the Gaon of Vilna, and a few lines later a citation in the name of the Gaon and Chassid R. Yaakov Yoseph Katz of Nemirov (author of Toldoth Ya’akov Yoseph, published six years later in Koretz)
