Chassidut, Rare: Asarah L'Me'ah by the Maggid of Vodislov, Father of the Rebbe Rabbi Bunim of Przysucha


Sefer Asarah L'Meah - book of derashot by the sacred gaon Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch - the "Maggid of Vodislov" - father of the leading Admo"r of Poland, Rabbi Simchah Bunim of Przysucha. Early edition (the second, according to the text on the title page). Rödelheim, 1828.


The sefer was authored by the Maggid of Vodislov before he drew close to Chassidut (he drew close to the Chozeh of Lublin late in life as a result of a specific incident). At the same time, when this sefer was written, his son the Rebbe Rabbi Bunim of Przysucha, was already one of the leading disciples of the Chozeh of Lublin's and the Yehudi HaKadosh of Peshischa (he was later actually appointed successor of the Yehudi HaKadosh). It is interesting to note that the book is entirely constructed in the format of a dialog between a sage's son and his father, and, as stated, the author's only son was the "sage" of the Admo"rim, none other than the Rabi HaKadosh, Rabbi Bunim of Przysucha.


The sefer was first printed by the author in Berlin in 1801 (refer also to Stefansky, Chassidut, 472). This title page here mentions the first edition, and writes that this edition is the second: "Printed a second time" ["נדפס שנית"]. However, between these editions, this sefer, which has currently become very popular, was printed in several editions, some without year or place of printing.


The rebbe mentions his son-in-law on the last page "designated for my son-in-law, the sage and scribe, the expert doctor, Rabbi Yehoshua Leib, known as Doctor Beneliowsky." It may be that this brother-in-law, who studied medicine, inspired Rabbi Bunim of Peshischa to study the field of pharmacy.


Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the sacred gaon Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch - "the Maggid of Vodislov."
