SHAPIRA, KALONYMUS KALMAN.

Weiss

Jerusalem

1944

Second edition.

The author, the Rebbe of Piasetzno (Piaseczno) was an extraordinarily innovative and deeply spiritual leader. The present text is a most original guide for yeshiva students, encouraging their religious self-development. With no direct communication possible, the Jerusalem-based publishers of this edition believed that the Rebbe was still alive in war-ravaged Poland, and in the introduction, earnestly hope that through the merit of the publication, the Piasetzno would soon find sanctuary in Eretz Israel. In fact he was already dead, murdered by the Germans in their “Aktion Erntefest” of November, 1943.
