Collection of nine manuscripts. Torah stemming from Sadigura, Boyan, and Ruzhin Chassidic dynasties.

(CHASSIDISM).

1860’s-1900’s

Various hands. Texts in Hebrew and Yiddish.

Includes: * 11 pages of Torah on Parshath Chayei Sarah-Vayigash by Grand Rabbi Avraham Ya’akov Friedman (1820-1833) the Admor of Sadigur and second son of R. Yisroel Friedman of Ruzhin. Published in Irin Kadishin (Warsaw, 1885). This is perhaps a draft of that work. * A collection of Chasidic Sipurim numbered 1-17, and 24-29. Some have appeared in Migdol Yeshu’oth Malko (Jerusalem, 1956), but most are apparently unpublished. * 76 pages of Torah discourses by Grand Rabbi Yitzchak Friedman (1850-1917) the Admor of Boyan. Arranged by the weekly parsha, these are dated, and include the years 1902, 1903, 1905, and 1909. Many have been published in Imrei Kodesh. * 14 pages of Yiddish discourses arranged by weekly parsha, dating from 1868 to 1875. * The rest of the collection comprises manuscripts of Chasidic Torah and stories, some of which are attributed to Rabbi Yisroel Friedman (1796-1850), the progenitor of the dynasty. This archive of manuscripts is a treasure trove for enthusiasts and historians of Chassidism.
