She'erit Yisrael. Zhitomir, 1867. Segulah Book
* She'erit Yisrael by the tzaddik of Vilednik. Second edition. 21 customs and warnings were added by the author to this edition for the first time. They were apparently copied from manuscript: "These should be done so that man can live by them ["ויחי בהם"], as I received from our rabbis. They are a great rectification ..."
She'erit Yisrael includes three parts: attachment to tzaddikim, Torah thoughts on Jewish festivals and topics of repentance said during the "shovevim" ['שובבי"ם'] period by the wonder-worker, the Admor Dov Ber of Vilednik. Considered a segulah book.
Rabbi Dov Ber of Vilednik [1789-1850] was Rabbi Mordechai of Chernobyl's primary disciple. He became famous as a wonder worker. The Admo"r, the author of Tzemach Tzeddek of Lubavitch, sent Jews in need of salvation to him. His grave site is known as a place of prayer and salvation. Even during the Soviet regime in Russia, many would exert themselves to visit his grave site for blessing and salvation. Today, too, many travel to prostrate themselves there.
