Fascinating Discovery: Manuscript of Divrei Ya'akov by the Admo"r Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael of Kherson - Written at only 14 Years Old!!!
Bound manuscript spanning over a hundred pages of wonderful Torah thoughts on Chumash Shemot according to the parashiyot, and "Ma'amar HaHistapkut." Entirely handwritten and signed by the Admo"r Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael of Kherson, author of She'erit Ya'akov. Autograph of his sefer Divrei Ya'akov, written when he was just a fourteen-year-old youth!! To the best of our knowledge, this sefer has not been printed.
The manuscript opens with an illustrated title page bearing a decorative border: "Kitvei Kodesh - Divrei Ya'akov, 1894, Kantikoziva, Ya'akov Yisrael." This is none other than the Admo"r Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael of Kherson, son of the Admo"r Rabbi Pinchas of Kantikoziva. He was born in 1880 - this means that when he wrote these words, he was fourteen years old.
Content of the manuscript:
- Pp. [1-3]: two title pages
- Pp. 1-56: elucidations on Sefer Shemot
- Pp. 61-100: 'Likkutim Tehillim'
- the final [7] leaves: 'Ma'amar HaHistapkut'
