Book of Tehillim of Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund. Important Gloss

"He stands in one corner, praying, and she stands in another corner, praying"

 

Book of Tehillim with which the gaon Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund, gaon av beit din of HaEdah HaChareidit and one of the leading tzaddikim of recent generations and his wife the Rebbetzin would pour out their heart. Published by Satmar, Brooklyn, [1982]. 

Appearing at the beginning of the book of Tehillim is the personal stamp of the gaon av beit din: "Moshe Aryeh Freund rosh av beit din of all the  Ashkenazic communities and Ra"m of the Satmar Yitav Lev Yeshiva in Jerusalem". In additןon, appearing on the leaves of the book is the stamp of his pure wife the Rebbetzin: "Tsharne Freund Jerusalem". 

The book of Tehillim is well used, showing the thousands of tear-soaked prayers of the gaon av beit din and the Rebbetzin. As is known, after his offspring had persihed in the Holocaust, the gaon av beit din did not have other children. This is the book of Tehillim into which the gaon av beit din and the Rebbetzin poured their pure heart before Hashem with insufferable pain, a book that absorbed tens of thousands of hours of prayers by one of the leading tzaddikim of recent generations! 

At the beginning of the book we find an important, unknown gloss by the gaon av beit din Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund. In the version of the "Yehi Ratzon" which is traditionally said before the saying of the Psalms, it says "and do not take us from this world before our time until our days there reach seventy years"; the gaon av beit din surrounded the words "seventy years" with parentheses, indicating they are not to be said.
