Four pages in the handwriting of Rebbe Avraham Weinberg, dealing with Kabbalistic and Chassidic matters on the topic of Sod HaTzitzit (the secrets of the mitzvah of tzitzit). [Slonim, ca. 1860s]. The pages are a part of his book Chesed L'Avraham, from the chapter Sod HaTzitzit. The book was printed posthumously in 1886, by his grandson, the author of Divrei Shmuel. These pages are written in his own handwriting with slight variations from the printed version.

After the death of their Rebbe in 1858 most of the Lechovitz–Kobryn Chassidim followed the greatest in the group, Rabbi Avraham Weinberg (a minority followed the Lechovitz, Kobryn and Koidanov Rebbes), who established his Beit Midrash in the city of Slonim and led Chassidim for over 25 years. 2 leaves, 4 written pages, 22.5 cm.
