Leaf Handwritten by Rebbe Yitzchak Yehuda Yechiel of Komarno - Section of his Book Hechal HaBeracha - Segula for Protection and Success
A leaf handwritten by R. Yitzchak Yehuda Yechiel of Komarno - section of his book Hechal HaBeracha.
Complete leaf of the composition Hechal HaBeracha on Bamidbar. The leaf contains the end of Parshat Bamidbar and the beginning of Parshat Nasa (Bamidbar 4, 15-Bamidbar 5, 7) in the autographic writing of the author.
R. Yitzchak Eizik Yehuda Yechiel (Safrin) Rabbi of Komarno (1806-1874), holy sage, nephew and prominent disciple of R. Zvi of Zhydachiv. Beloved by Chassidic leaders such as the Chozeh [Seer] of Lublin (who was also his shadchan), the Apta Rebbe, R. Moshe Zvi of Savran, his uncle R. Moshe of Sambir, R. Yisrael of Ruzhin and more. Authored numerous Chassidic and Kabbalistic books as well as the Hechal HaBeracha commentary on the Five Books of the Torah, based on the teachings of the Ari and the Ba'al Shem Tov. The Heichal HaBeracha Chumashim are basic books of Chassidic philosophy. They were acclaimed by numerous Rebbes (Beit Zhydachiv, the Divrei Chaim and his descendants, the Rashab of Lubavitch and others) who highly valued the holiness of the kabbalistic wisdom apparent in his commentaries.
In a letter directed to residents of Hungary regarding the distribution of the Chumashim containing his commentary, R. Safrin gives his special blessing and mentions the segula of his holy books: "… I guarantee that any person who possesses this Chumash will be spared from any harm and misfortune and illness and his home will be filled with G-d's blessing for success and wealth and longevity for him and his children… children, life and sustenance, benevolence and mercy… and long life". This leaf was given as a segula for protection and success by R. Yissachar Dov Safrin, a descendent of the author.
Leaf, 20 cm. Close writing, two columns per page. Approximately 160 autograph lines of the Rebbe, author of Hechal Beracha. Few stains. Folding marks. Tears to margins.
