Chomat Ariel (Lantzut) / Or LaShamayim (Rebbe Meir of Apta) – With Prayer for Livelihood, Called by the Tiferet Shlomo "An Awesome Segulah for Livelihood and Success"
Volume containing two Chassidic books by disciples of the Chozeh of Lublin, printed in Lviv in the 1860s:
• Chomat Ariel, homilies on the Torah and selections on Neviim and Ketuvim by R. Aryeh Leib, Rabbi of Lantzut. Lviv, 1867. First edition.
Includes selections in the name of various Chassidic masters.
The author, R. Aryeh Leib, Rabbi of Lantzut (1757-1826), a leading disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin, appointed Rabbi of Lantzut (Łańcut) at the young age of twenty, a position he held until 1819 when he was appointed Rabbi of Chișinău.
• Or LaShamayim, Chassidic discourses on the Torah portions, novellae on Talmudic topics and responsa, by Rebbe Meir HaLevi Rottenberg, Rabbi of Stopnica and Apta, disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin. [Lviv: printer not indicated, ca. 1860]. Second edition.
The author's famous prayer is printed at the beginning of the book: "Yadati Ki Hineni BeYadcha…". Later editions of the book (starting from the 1914 edition) state that the Tiferet Shlomo of Radomsk would recite the prayer twice daily, and declared that reciting the prayer daily is "an awesome Segulah for livelihood and success".
