On page before title-page appears impressive dedication from 1951, in handwriting and with signature of Rebbe Ya'akov Halberstam of Chakova-Sanz to Ya'akov Chai Zrihan.
Rebbe Ya'akov Halberstam, son of Rebbe Sinai of Zemigrad, son of Rebbe Baruch of Gerlitz, son of author of Divrei Chaim. Served from the year 1925 as Av Beit Din in Chakova. In 1942 he dreamt of the holocaust that would soon destroy European Jewry. He consequently left the rabbinate and came to Jerusalem, where he established Yeshivat Divrei Chaim – Chakova. During the holocaust years the Rebbe was in the US, where he was very active in the Va'ad Hatzala Organization for rescuing European Jews. After the war he returned to Israel, later he returned to the US. His sons are Rabbi Moshe Halberstam, as well as Rebbe Naftali Halberstam shlita, Rebbe of Chakova and head of the Eda Hacharedit.
