Three notebooks including Torah thoughts and stories of tzaddikim, written by "Yisachar Dov" Rokeach in his youth, [1958-1966?].
In one of the notebooks his name is signed several times, and contain stories which he heard from his uncle. Lists and calculations [one of the lists seems like documentation of Chasidic practices and their observation], additional lists from his rabbis and educators. In the second notebook there are novellae on Torah and halacha (possibly also in his own handwriting). In the third notebook there are varying notes [of a study curriculum from a certain book?].
The holy Rebbe, Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach of Belz was the only scion who remained from the entire Belzer family, who were murdered in the holocaust. The Belzer Chasidut looked after the "crown prince" and raised him in Torah and chasidut until he was ready to lead the community, and he was "crowned" as Rebbe in1967, at the age of 18.
His uncle, Rabbi Ahaon Rokeach of Belz, lost his entire family in the holocaust – wife, children and grandchildren. Also his brother, the holy Rabbi of Bilguray, Rabbi Mordechai Rokeach, lost his entire family in the war. After the war, Rabbi Mordechai remarried, and his son Yissachar Dov was born to him in 1948.
The Rabbi of Bilguray died in 1949, and his brother, Rabbi Aharon, died in 1957. The Chasidic elders designated the young Yisscahar Dov, aged nine, as the future Rebbe; he was given excellent educators. The Chasidic elders upheld the Belz institutions until he became Rebbe. The Chasidic court which developed under Rebbe Yissachar Dov's leadership now includes thousands of families and hundreds of institutions of Torah learning, prayer and benevolence.
