Hachanah DeRabbah, ethical will of R. Moshe son of Amram Grünwald, Rabbi of Khust (author of Arugat HaBosem). Satmar: Meir Leib Hirsch, [ca. 1935]. Third edition.


Copy of Rebbe Yekutiel Yehudah Halberstam of Sanz-Klausenburg. At the top of the title page is his full signature (in pencil) from his tenure in Klausenburg, before the Holocaust: "Yekutiel Yehudah Halberstam, Rabbi of the Sephardic community" (books surviving from the Rebbe's library in Klausenburg before the Holocaust are rare; very few of them were returned to the Rebbe's library in Kiryat Sanz).


Rebbe Yekutiel Yehudah Halberstam of Sanz-Klausenburg (1904-1994) was a leading rebbe who built up the Torah and Chassidic world in the fifty years following the Holocaust. He established the large Sanz communities in the United States, Jerusalem and Netanya, including yeshivas and Torah and charitable institutions.

Yechizkiyah Grünwald of Khust, writing that he printed this edition with the permission of the author's son, the "Rabbi of Pápa". On the verso of the title page is an additional mounted printed paper on the copyright of the book belonging only to the author's heirs.
