Manuscript, notebook with copies of the discourses of the Slonim Rebbe, Avraham Weinberg, author of Beit Avraham – from 1831, in the handwriting of Rabbi Aharon Yosef Luria, author of Avodat Pnim. [Tiberias, ca. 1832]. "In the notebook, I have copied holy sayings spoken in a fiery voice by the Rebbe … Rebbe Avraham, at the holy tables on Shabbat and Festivals in the city of Baranavichy, Poland. And I have copied them from that which was heard by the pious young man Zvi Katzowitz and by Shalom Noach Borzovsky [who later became the Slonim Rebbe in Jerusalem]. And I am copying from the notebook which he sent to Eretz Israel. The copier – Aharon Yosef Luria son of R' Zvi Hirsh, son of Chana Rivka". The Kabbalist Rabbi Aharon Yosef Luria of Tiberias (1894-1969), was the eldest son of Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Luria of Tiberias (1882-1952, head of the Or Torah Yeshiva) and a prominent Slonim Chassid in Tiberias. An outstanding Torah scholar, holy man and devoted servant of G-d. During the days preceding World War I, Rabbi Luria longed, in vain, to travel to Slonim to visit the Rebbe, author of Divrei Shmuel. In 1929, the Slonim Rebbe, author of Beit Avraham, visited Eretz Israel and Rabbi Aharon Yosef grew very close to him and considered this period of his life as the light and soul of his being (he wrote in a letter that from the time he met the Rebbe, he became like a gushing spring and then he began to write his thoughts). His celebrated book, Avodat Pnim, [printed in several editions after his death in 1974] is one of the basic books instructing the manner in which Slonim Chassidim serve G-d. Approximately 58 written pages. 27 cm. Good condition, slight dampness, wear. Slightly worn binding.
