Manuscript, Aniyat Amen – eulogy on Rebbe Avraham Matityahu Friedman of Shtefanesht, by R. Nachum Shemaryahu Shechter Rabbi of Huşi (Romania), [1933].
Neat manuscript (with deletions and emendations) handwritten by the author, presumably in preparation for the publication of the book. This work was published in 1936, in Cluj (Klausenberg) under the title "Sefer Aniyat Amen".
The eulogy was delivered on 21st Av, 30 days after the passing of the rebbe of Shtefanesht on 21st Tammuz. On the same occasion, R. Schechter eulogized Rebbe Menachem Nachum of Ițcani (Bukovina), nephew and presumed successor of R. Avraham Matityahu, who passed away shortly before him.
R. Nachum Shemaryahu Schechter (1886-1967), prominent rabbi of the Ruzhin dynasty. Served as rabbi in Darabani and Huşi, Romania. Immigrated to Jerusalem after the Holocaust, and served as rabbi of Kiryat HaYovel. A prolific author.
He was a close associate of Rebbe Avraham Matityahu Friedman of Shtefanesht (Ștefănești; 1848-1933), famous tzaddik and wonder-worker, son of Rebbe Nachum of Shtefanesht – son of Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin. Rebbe Avraham Matityahu succeeded his father at the age of 21, and under his leadership, Shtefanesht grew to be an important Chassidic center. He served as rebbe for over 60 years. His gravesite in Eretz Israel serves until this day as a pilgrimage destination for prayer and salvation.
[2], 20 pages. 27 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Extensive wear and marginal tears, slightly affecting text. New binding.
Enclosed is a printed edition of the eulogy: Aniyat Amen. Klausenburg (Cluj-Napoca): Ipuron, 1936. With a picture of the rebbe of Shtefanesht and an additional printed front cover. New binding.
