Set of Chumashim – "Heichal HaBerachah" Komarno – First Edition – Segulah, with a Blessing by the Author, "I am sure that anyone who has our Chumash in his home will be spared from any misfortune and harm, illness and lack, and his home will be filled with G-d's blessing and all good, success, wealth and longevity"
Five Books of the Torah with the Heichal HaBerachah commentary, based on the kabbalistic teachings of the Ari and the Baal Shem Tov, by Rebbe Yitzchak Eizek Yehuda Yechiel Safrin of Komarno. Lviv: Pessel Balaban, [1864-1874]. First edition, printed during the lifetime of the author over the course of approximately ten years (order of printing: Bamidbar, 1864; Vayikra, 1866; Bereshit, 1869; Shemot, 1872; Devarim, 1874). Five volumes.
The Heichal HaBerachah Chumashim by the Mahari of Komarno are among the classic books of Chassidic thought and Kabbalah. These books were favored by rebbes of all circles (Zidichov dynasty, the Divrei Chaim and his descendants, the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch and others).
In the author's letter sent to Hungary, regarding the distribution of the Chumashim with his holy commentary, he writes his special blessing and notes the segulah of his holy books: "…I am sure that anyone who has our Chumash in his home will be spared from any misfortune and harm, illness and lack, and his home will be filled with G-d's blessing and all good, success, wealth and longevity for him and his offspring… children, life and sustenance, benevolence and mercy, favorable judgement, for long life".
Signatures in Oriental script in the volume of Devarim: "Menachem Salem ---". Erased Oriental signature on the title page of Bamidbar.
Two title pages per volume. Bereshit: [4], 283, [9] leaves. The two leaves with the author's prefaces are bound in this volume after the title pages, instead of in the volume of Bamidbar.
