Lemberg, [1865]. Pessel Balaban Press. First edition printed during lifetime of author.
Heichal HaBracha Chumashim by Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik of Komárno, among most basic books of Chassidic contemplation and Kabbalah. These Chumashim were favored by rebbes of all sects (Zidichov dynasty, the Divrei Chaim and his descendants, Rabbi Shalom Ber of Lubavitch and others).
In his letter directed to residents of Ungarn regarding distribution of the Chumashim containing his holy commentary, Rabbi Safrin writes his special blessing and mentions the Sgula of his holy books: “… I guarantee that any person who possesses this Chumash will be spared from any harm and misfortune and illness and his home will be filled with G-d’s blessing for success and wealth and longevity for him and his sons… children, life and sustenance, benevolence and mercy… for long life”.
