Avodat Yisrael (Koznitz) - Józefów, 1842 - First Edition. **No Shaar Page
Avodat Yisrael, homilies on the Torah and on Pirkei Avot, by the Magid R. Yisrael of Koznitz. Józefów, 1842. First edition.
The author, R. Yisrael Hofstein, known as the Magid of Koznitz (Kozienice) (1737-1815, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut, Vol. 2, pp. 542-548), was a leading rebbe who disseminated Chassidism throughout Poland.
His famous book Avodat Yisrael was not printed in his lifetime, however it is known to be his primary work and a foremost Chassidic book, printed in many editions. Chassidic leaders praised the holiness of the book and its author. For example, the author of Aryeh D've Ila'i writes in his approbation: "…His words burn like fire… inspire the heart of the reader…". The author of Divrei Yechezkel of Sieniawa said: "All the books of the disciples of the Ba'al Shem Tov are holy yet the holy book Avodat Yisrael is Holy of Holies".
