Machzor for the Three Pilgrimage Festivals that Belonged to the Admo"r Rabbi Yehudahleh of Dzikov. Zhitomir, 1859

Machzor for the three pilgrimage festivals. Personal copy that belonged to the Admo"r Rabbi Yehudah [Yehudah'leh] Horowitz of Dzikov, that the rebbe used over many years, as attested in the included confirmation from his close confidante, Rabbi Simchah Hendler. Magnificent rabbinic volume with the original leather binding. Extraordinarily important and rare Chassidic ritual item.

As stated, this is the personal machzor of the renowned tzaddik and wonder-worker Rabbi Yehudah'leh of Dzikov, who contemporary rebbes considered a tzaddik of earlier generations. The rebbe poured his soul out with his famous glorious prayers using this machzor during three regalim - with other-worldly joy and sanctity ...

Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of Rabbi Yehudah Horowitz.

It is known that leading Admo"rim are particular to pray from sefarim that had been in the use of tzaddikim, or to wear clothing that was used by a tzaddik, as a segulah for their prayers to break through the mekatregim and enact salvation for themselves and for their congregations. It is hard to find a ritual item more suited for the regalim prayers than this Zhitomir machzor, used for Divine service by Rabbi Yehudaleh of Dzikov, considered most sacred by contemporary Chassidic leaders.
