Manuscript, Complete Work on the Torah from one of the Earliest Chassidim

"These important words enlighten our eyes from Heaven" (from the manuscript)

Manuscript, complete work on Chassidic doctrine on chamishah chumshei Torah and the meggilahs by a Chassidic talmid chacham. [Europe, early 1900s]

The chronological order of the manuscript is as follows: Meggilat Ruth, Meggilat Eichah, Chamishah Chumshei Torah - from Parashat Yitro to Parashat V'Zot HaBrachah; Meggilat Esther; drushim for Shavuot. The manuscript consists of deep Chassidic and Kabbalistic torot that demonstrate that the author was expert in the revealed, the hidden, and Chassidism.

In several places, the author cites gedolei haChassidut, such as "in the name of the Ba'al Shem Tov, " describing him as Nesi Elo-kim, "Ish Elo-kim Kadosh Rabbi Mendel Fristiker" [none other than Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimanov, who was previously rabbi in Fristik], the Ohev Yisrael of Apta. He also quotes a conversation that took place between the Rebbe Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin, and the Rebbe Rabbi Shmuel of Kaminka about the Sar Shalom of Belz. Elsewhere, he writes, "I heard that it was said that the sacred rabbi, the av beit din of Belz said explicitly ..."

One page mentions at the end of the passage: "as above, Eliezer Frisch." There is a person known as Eliezer Frisch who was a son-in-law of Rabbi Matityahu Landau. In one place, the writer refers to what he wrote in his book of responsa ("and in my sefer of responsa and pilpulim I expanded on this") as well as mentioning derashot he delivered ("Refer to what I wrote in the drush on building the study hall, " "Refer as well to what I wrote in the drush for the benefit of the public"). In another place, the writer mentions the name of his grandfather-in-law, which appears on page [10a] where he cites a dvar Torah in the name of "My grandfather-in-law, the gaon, the great light, Mahara"m Taubsh in his sefer Karnei Re'em."
