Manuscript, Chesed L'Avraham on Mishnayot – Rabbi Avraham, Av Beit Din of Tomashpil
Manuscript, Chesed L'Avraham on Seder Zera'im (Birkot Bikurim), handsome neat writing [with additions in the same handwriting], autographic writing of the author, Rabbi Avraham, Av Beit Din of Tomashpil. 1840.
Rabbi Avraham, son of Rabbi Yechiel served for approximately 40 years in the Tomashpil Rabbinate (Podolia region, Central Ukraine) and died ca. 1850. His work on Seder Zera'im is a comprehensive commentary explaining and expounding upon the words of the leading commentaries, Rabbi Ovadia of Bartenura and the Tosfot Yom Tov. This work was finally printed only 30 years after the author died (Chernivtsi, 1884) with the approbations of Rebbes: Rabbi David of Tolna, Rabbi David Moshe of Chortkiv, Rabbi Yitzchak and Rabbi Israel of Sadigura, and others.
In the introduction to the printed book, the author's son-in-law Rabbi Ya'akov Shapira Av Beit Din of Vinnytsia, relates that Rebbe Yitzchak Meir of Zinkov, the Apta Rebbe's son, participated in Rabbi Avraham's funeral and afterward at the mourners' home he studied Mishnayot. When the manuscript of this book was brought before him, the Rebbe studied it and claimed, "From this book, it is clear that the author studied Torah Lishma and feared Heaven. The city of Tomashpil does not know what it has lost".
