First edition printed during the lifetime of the author R. David Twersky of Tolna (1808-1882), son of R. Mordechai of Chernobyl. In his introduction, the author, known as a miracle worker, writes: "We shall merit pure future joy, and constant blessings".
The book opens with a title page and introduction, followed by another title page and another introduction, almost identical to the first ones. The title page borders are different. The texts of the title pages and the introductions are almost identical, with the exception of typographic changes and slight variations in the titles of the author and his distinguished forefathers. This does not explain why the title page and introduction were repeated, nor whether it was done at the author's request.

The book was brought to print by the grandson of the author, Rebbe Meshulam Zusia of Zinkov. He relates in his foreword how his father, Rebbe Yitzchak Meir, son of the author, realized that each person was recording the rebbe's teachings according to their own perception, and he was concerned this would lead to misunderstanding. He therefore chose one astute, outstanding Torah scholar and designated him to record the holy teachings, after which the writings were reviewed, and when necessary corrected, by the rebbe. Later in the foreword, he explains that the book was named Ohev Yisrael, based on the author's repeated assertion that the one character trait he could confidently pride himself in, even before the Heavenly court, was his outstanding love for his fellow Jew. Before his demise, he instructed his sons to write no other praise on his tombstone but Ohev Yisrael (Lover of Jews).
R. Yosef Shaul Nathansohn wrote in his approbation (to the Lemberg edition): "…he loved every Jewish person with his heart and soul, and would show great affection particularly to Torah scholars. And our fathers related to us that while he was here [in Lviv], all the leading Torah scholars of the city would arise early to come and absorb his wondrous teachings…".

Section 27 of Part I includes a query which was sent from Medzhybizh to R. Meir Rabbi of Konstantin (son of R. Yaakov Emden), regarding a case in the laws of kashrut on which the rabbi of Medzhybizh had ruled, however some prominent members of the community did not approve of his ruling. Among the signatures which appear on the letter is: "Yisrael B.S. (Baal Shem) of Tłuste (Towste)" – R. Yisrael, the Baal Shem Tov. This query elicited a long response by R. Meir, who endorsed their concern and opposed the ruling of the rabbi of Medzhybizh. The responsum opens with several lines of honorary titles and praise of the Baal Shem Tov (the deciphering of these long and flowery titles and their significance are discussed at length in research literature).
Two parts bound in one volume. Part I on topics related to Orach Chaim and Yoreh Deah, and Part II relating to Even HaEzer and Choshen Mishpat. Otzrot Chaim, containing aggadic novellae and pilpul on the weekly Torah portions by the author and his son (the publisher), was printed at the end of Part II. Responsa by the author's grandfathers and uncles, who were leading Torah scholars, were also included. A letter sent to the author by the Ohev Yisrael of Apta, with endorsement of the author's ruling, appears at the beginning of the book. This letter was printed among the approbations to the book.
Stamp on the second title page of Part I: "Meir Dan son of R. C.Y. [Chaim Yitzchak] Plotzky Rabbi of Ostrov in the province of Lomza" – the renowned R. Meir Dan Plotzky (1866-1928), a prominent Polish rabbi in the early 20th century. He was one of the founders of Agudat Yisrael in Poland and a member of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah. In 1891, he was appointed rabbi of Dvart (Warta) and in 1918, rabbi of Ostrov (Ostrów Mazowiecka). He was one of the most brilliant Torah scholars in Poland, and R. Chaim Soloveitchik wrote in his approbations: "He is extremely great in Torah, with astuteness, erudition and reasoning"; "He is great both in Torah and fear of G-d". R. Plotzky's popular book Kli Chemda on the Torah was highly cherished by Polish Torah scholars. He was a Gerrer Chassid and his entire life clung to the Sfat Emet and the Imrei Emet. He participated in the famous delegation of leading rabbis who travelled to the United States in 1924, together with the Dvar Avraham, Rabbi of Kovne, with R. Moshe Mordechai Epstein and with R. Avraham Yitzchak Kook.

With approbations of leading Chassidic rebbes, the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, the Maggid of Trisk, Rebbe Yehoshua of Ostrova and Rebbe Elimelech of Grodzisk. Rebbe Elimelech of Grodzisk writes in his approbation about the segulah of possessing this book: "It is fitting for every Jewish person to bring this book into his home for protection and blessing".
Noted on the second title page, near the name of the printer: "He had printed in 1864 6000 books of Tehillim published by Maran [Rebbe Yitzchak of Neshchiz] for public merit". Reputedly, at the time R. Yitzchak of Neshchiz delivered discourses on Tehillim, which were printed in this book, "the Rebbe would hold… the Tehillim printed in Warsaw, expounding from it his Torah novellae" (Zichron Tov, Inyanei Chiddushei Torato, 11. For further information about this edition of Tehillim, see: Kedem Auction 65, item 129).
Throughout his lifetime, the author, Rebbe Yitzchak of Neshchiz rarely lectured in public. However, in the last year of his life, he delivered teachings on the Torah and on Tehillim almost daily. These teachings were written down and edited by his disciple and faithful assistant, R. Yitzchak Landau, and published in this book, several months after the author's passing (as recounted in length in the book Zichron Tov, by the aforementioned R. Yitzchak Landau).
Rebbe Yitzchak of Neshchiz (1789-1868) was the youngest son of Rebbe Mordechai of Neshchiz. A close disciple of R. Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, he married his granddaughter and transmitted many Torah thoughts in his name. He was also a disciple of R. Baruch of Medzhybizh and of the Chozeh of Lublin. Appointed Rebbe at a young age, he held this position for over sixty years. He was reputed for his prayers, the wonders he performed, and his Heavenly revelations. He was revered by all sects of Chassidism for his holiness and exceptional piety, and as one "who facilitates the flow of Heavenly bounty to the entire Jewish people" (as stated in a letter by R. Baruch Shapira, prominent Chassid of the Peshischa and Kotsk dynasties). His renowned disciples include: Rebbe Elimelech of Grodzisk, Rebbe Yaakov Tzvi of Parysów and others

In the author's letter sent to Hungary, regarding the distribution of the Chumashim with his holy commentary, he writes his special blessing and notes the segulah of his holy books: "…I am sure that anyone who has our Chumash in his home will be spared from any misfortune and harm, illness and lack, and his home will be filled with G-d's blessing and all good, success, wealth and longevity for him and his offspring… children, life and sustenance, benevolence and mercy, favorable judgement, for long life".

R. Yitzchak Eizek Yehuda Yechiel (Safrin) Rabbi of Komarno (1806-1874), holy sage, nephew and prominent disciple of Rebbe Zvi of Zidichov. Beloved by Chassidic leaders: the Chozeh of Lublin, the Rebbe of Apta, R. Moshe Zvi of Savran, his uncle R. Moshe of Sambir, R. Yisrael of Ruzhin and others.

Afterward, I will explain the Mishna according to our rabbis and based on the books of the Gaon of Vilna… I have arranged the Tosefta according to the order of the Gaon of Vilna…". The author is referring to the book Taharat HaKodesh (Zhovkva, 1804) containing commentary and glosses of the Gaon of Vilna.

Interesting approbation by his close disciple Rebbe Chaim of Sanz, who writes that although in the past he did not agree to the printing of the holy teachings of R. Naftali of Ropshitz, "because I knew that also the holy author did not approve of printing his Torah novellae. However, on second thought, I decided that it was good that the printers published these writings. It is known that R. Chaim Vital also refrained from publishing his novellae and the teachings he received from his teacher, the Ari, and did not allow his disciples to write them; nevertheless, the righteous of the generation made efforts to copy, write and publish them, and the world shone…". On the verso of the approbation leaf is a notice by the person who brought the book to press: "I have called the book Or HaNer, however the holy rebbe of Sanz called it Zera Kodesh… and I have cancelled my will before his holy will".

Sidrei Taharot on Tractate Kelim, by Rebbe Gershon Chanoch Henich Leiner, rabbi of Radzin (Radzyń Podlaski). Józefów, 1873. First edition.
Sidrei Taharot is an original, comprehensive and brilliant work on Tractate Kelim. The center of the page is occupied by the text of the Mishnah, followed by all the teachings of the Babylonian Talmud, Jerusalem Talmud and Midrashim pertaining to that Mishnah. The text of the Mishnah and Talmud is flanked by two commentaries from the author and compiler – one lengthy and one brief. The lengthy commentary is a discussion of the opinions of the Rishonim and Acharonim on the topic, and the brief commentary is a concise explanation of the words. The work is structured in a similar style to that of the Talmud – each Mishnah is followed by the word "Gemara", and the text even parallels the typography of the Talmudic tractates (the body of the text, in square typeface, occupies the center of the page, and is flanked by a brief commentary similar to Rashi on one side, and a more lengthy commentary replicating Tosafot, on the other – both in Rashi script. Ein Mishpat and Masoret HaShas are printed in the margins). A great controversy arose at the time surrounding this work. Some of the rabbis of Vilna published a statement opposing the work, as a matter of principle, concerned that a composition so closely resembling the Gemara might eventually be mistaken as an integral part of the Talmud. On the other hand, the work earned the approbations of many of the leading Torah scholars of the generation. Due to the opposition it engendered, the heading "Sefer Sidrei Taharot" was added at the top of each page of part II, with a notice at the foot of each page that the work is "compiled from the teachings of the Tana'im and Amora'im" – see below.
Fine, particularly wide-margined copy. A Hebrew map of Eretz Israel appears at the beginning of the book. The map (folded plate) shows the borders of the land and the territory of each tribe. It bears the stamp of the author: "Gershon Chanoch Henich Leiner, son of the holy rabbi of Izhbitza".
Ownership inscriptions of R. Efraim Fishel Yitzchak Fränkel of Shedlitz (relative of the Baruch Taam), and inscription attesting to having received the book from him (signature of recipient deleted). Several handwritten glosses.
[10], 544 pages + [1] plate + [1] title page wrapper. Map bound at beginning of book and not at end, as in other copies. Title page wrapper not recorded in the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book. Title page printed in black and red. 43 cm. Good condition. Stains. Title pages and approbations detached. Tears to map plate, including tear across the map. Original leather binding, damaged and partially detached.

The Polemic Surrounding Sidrei Taharot – The "Talmud" Compiled by the Rebbe of Radzin
R. Gershon Chanoch Henich Leiner (1839-1890), the Baal HaTechelet, was a sharp, original and outstanding Torah scholar, who authored his brilliant work Sidrei Taharot on Tractate Kelim at the young age of 33, before he was appointed rebbe and rabbi. This composition earned the enthusiastic approbations of leading rabbis of his times, such as R. Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor Rabbi of Kovno, R. Shimon Sofer Rabbi of Kraków, the Sho'el u-Meshiv, the rabbi of Kutno, the Nefesh Chaya, the Machaneh Chaim, R. Tzvi Hirsh Orenstein Rabbi of Brisk, R. Chaim Berlin, and others.
After the book was published, the author sent a copy to R. Betzalel HaKohen, a rabbi of Vilna, author of Reshit Bikurim. R. Betzalel responded with an enthusiastic letter of approbation, in which he addresses him with great esteem and thanks him for the book Sidrei Taharot "which is very dear to us… many will benefit from the light of his Torah".
A year and a half later, in summer 1875, R. Betzalel changed his views, and, together with six other rabbis of Vilna, publicized three lengthy and very sharp letters in the HaLevanon periodical against the book Sidrei Taharot. Their main argument was that ever since the closing of the Talmud, no one whatsoever has the authority to compile a Talmud on tractates which the Amora'im did not compose a Talmud on, and not even to imitate their structure. They contended that doing so negatively affects the faith in the holiness of the Oral Law: "Regrettably, in this lowly generation, one of the authors dared to collect from the Talmud for each Mishnah of Tractate Kelim … what in his opinion pertains to this Mishnah, and he gave it the name "Gemara", and woe to the eyes who witness such a thing… and woe to us that such a thing has happened in our times"; "It has become known to all now that in any case, there is absolutely no benefit in this book, this new Talmud of his". The rabbis of Vilna further warn that no author should have the audacity do such a thing, and caution the author not to reprint this work. (In their letter from the end of the summer 1875, the rabbis of Vilna claim that the fact no rabbi opposed the prohibition they issued two months prior, indicates that most the other rabbis, including those who originally gave approbations, concur with their opinion…). This condemnation by the rabbis of Vilna was not disregarded by the author and his colleagues, who retaliated in the HaMaggid paper, responding to all the claims of the Vilna rabbis, and thus a sharp and interesting polemic developed, which branches out to many matters of principle (see enclosed material).
The author was not inhibited by the prohibition of the Vilna rabbis, and immediately after publishing the volume on tractate Kelim, he began compiling and preparing for print part II of his work, Sidrei Taharot on Tractate Ohalot, following the same format as his first book. This book was only published after his passing (Piotrkow 1903). Some of the rabbis who had given their approbations, leading rabbis of the generation, were also not intimidated by the ban issued by the rabbis of Vilna on the book, and they once again issued letters of approbation and encouragement to the author for his second book. These include: R. Yitzchak Elchanan (Nisan 1876), R. Shimon Sofer (Av 1877), the rabbi of Kutno (Adar 1876), R. Tzvi Hirsh Orenstein (Tammuz 1876). The second book also contains congratulation letters which the author received from the Malbim and R. Shimshon Rafael Hirsch, as well as a particularly enthusiastic letter of approbation from the Sdei Chemed (Nisan 1888), with exceptional words of esteem for the author and his book. At the end of his approbation, the Sdei Chemed blesses the author that he should merit to publish his work on all the tractates of Order Taharot, "since G-d is with him and the Halacha follows his opinion".
One noticeable change was introduced in part II, as a result of the polemic aroused surrounding part I. A heading was added at the top of each page: "Sefer Sidrei Taharot" (to stress that it is a book and not the Gemara), and a notice at the foot of each page: "Compiled from the teachings of the Tanna'im and Amora'im". The publisher, Rebbe Mordechai Yosef Elazar son of the author, writes in his foreword to the book that his father had already thought of this change, "and so I was advised by the leading rabbis and Torah scholars of the generation, led by our colleague the prominent R. Chaim Soloveitchik Rabbi of Brisk".
A fundamental book clarifying many concepts of the Arizal's Kabbalah, according to Chassidic teachings. The commentaries to the Zohar, which the Baal HaTanya imparted to his sons and the elite of his disciples on Shabbat eves, were recorded by his son R. Dov Ber, the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch. The Baal HaTanya taught these commentaries from 19th Kislev 1801, until his final years. This book contains only a quarter of his commentaries to the Zohar (as his son writes in the foreword).
The title page states: "…and for the most part these holy writings were reviewed by the Rebbe, and he was very satisfied with them". In the foreword, his son the Mitteler Rebbe - R. Dov Ber (Schneuri) of Lubavitch describes the contents of the commentaries in the book: "…which we heard from his holy mouth, every Shabbat eve, commentaries and explanations of the essays of the Zohar, one leaf from every portion, for several years, and it is plainly visible to all that Divine Inspiration rested upon him as he revealed the light of the secrets of the Torah, in particular in his explanations of the essays, he attained their absolutely true meaning. As I heard directly from him, more than once, that throughout his life, he specifically set Shabbat as the time for studying Zohar … and he attested on himself that he only studies each Shabbat one or two leaves, but in great depth, with great toil, and investigating each word, to reach the true understanding of Kabbalah…".
At the end of the foreword, the Mitteler Rebbe describes the method of writing and arranging the book: "It is known to all those who study my father's teachings, that none of the writings contain anything of my own, except when explaining and clarifying in places where he was concise, and even that was taken from his teachings, when he elaborated further in other places…".
Rebbe Eliezer Tzvi Safrin of Komarno writes in his preface to his commentary Damesek Eliezer on the Zohar, that one of the books which were before him while he composed his commentary was the Biurei HaZohar by R. Dov Ber, son of R. Shneur Zalman.

Imrei Binah is considered the most profound of the books composed and published by the Mitteler Rebbe. The main part of the book is dedicated to clarifying the kabbalistic concepts of Yichuda Ilaa and Yichuda Tataa, based on the teachings of the author's father – the Baal HaTanya. The book is divided into four sections: Petach HaShaar, Shaar Kriyat Shema, Shaar HaTzitzit and Shaar HaTefillin.
The Mitteler Rebbe published during the course of his life ten compositions, which he stated were each intended for a different kind of person. His book Imrei Binah was directed at the most profound scholars, and he once even stated that he had written it for his disciple R. Yekutiel Liepler. Rebbe Maharash of Lubavitch related that he was once experiencing difficulty in grasping chapters 32 and 37 of the book, and he approached his father the Tzemach Tzedek for help in understanding them. However, his father instructed him to go ask R. Yekutiel (Rebbe Rayatz, Limud HaChassidut, p. 30).
Reputedly, the Divrei Chaim, Rebbe of Sanz would study the book Imrei Binah every night before going to sleep (Sheloshet HaRo'im, Brooklyn 2004, p. 320). The Divrei Chaim even quotes it in his book Divrei Chaim on the Torah, Parashat Vayakhel (p. 28b).
Rebbe Dov Ber Schneuri, known as the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch (1774-1828) was the son of R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the Baal HaTanya. After his father passed away while fleeing the French Invasion of Russia, he began serving as rabbi of Lubavitch (Lyubavichi). In his father's lifetime, he recorded the latter's teachings, and delivered public lectures based on them, even in his presence, with the addition of his own commentaries. He was gifted with brilliant profundity and an unlimited wellspring of Torah thoughts. His Chassidic discourses would extend over many hours. He had an exceptional talent for clear explanations, whether in writing or orally, and was able to clarify and simplify before laymen the most profound and abstract concepts in Kabbalah and Chassidism. He was endowed with a rare ability to concentrate, and was able to contemplate G-dly concepts for hours on end, completely unaware of his surroundings. The Lubavitcher Rebbe retold that on Yom Kippur, he would stand in his place the entire day, in devoted prayer detached from physicality, without budging, with sweat pouring from his head. He passed away whilst delivering a Chassidic discourse.
Stamps: "Yehuda Leib son of Tzvi Zalman Hotthelf", "Shneur Zalman son of Pesach…".
