Pri Chadash, on Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah, by R. Chizkiya da Silva. Sudylkiv, 1835.
Copy of the Divrei Yechezkel, the first rebbe of Shinova, and of his son, the first rebbe of Stropkov. The title page bears stamps of the Divrei Yechezkel: "Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam – Rabbi of Shinova", a handwritten inscription attesting that the book belonged to him, and stamps of his son, Rebbe "Shalom Halberstam son of the rebbe of Shinova" (who inherited the book). A few handwritten corrections.
The first rebbe of Shinova, R. Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam (1815-1898), rabbi of Shinova (Sieniawa) and author of Divrei Yechezkel, eldest son of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz and son-in-law of R. Aryeh Leib Lifshitz of Vishnitsa, author of Aryeh D'Vei Ilai (son-in-law of R. Moshe Teitelbaum, author of Yishmach Moshe). An outstanding Torah scholar, he was proficient in all realms of Torah, exoteric and esoteric, halachic and Chassidic teachings. He was venerated in his role as rabbi and rebbe already during his father's lifetime. Progenitor of important Chassidic dynasties, with many of his sons and grandsons serving as rabbis and rebbes in various cities already in his lifetime. Holy and pure from his youth, he attended leading rebbes of his times and was considered their prominent disciple. He was famed for the miracles he performed, and would give out his objects as a segulah for protection and salvation.
Rebbe (Avraham) Shalom Halberstam (1855-1940), first Rebbe of Stropkov, author of Divrei Shalom, cherished son of Rebbe Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam who would acclaim him for "his very holy and supremely lofty soul", adding that "He can perform wonders" (Rabbenu HaKadosh MiSanz, II, p. 190). He served as rabbi and rebbe of Stropkov, and was the first rebbe of the Stropkov Chassidic dynasty. His court was always teeming with Chassidim and thousands came to seek his blessings. He was reputed for the wonders he performed (see enclosed material). He lived longer than his holy brothers. An ohel was erected on his gravesite in Košice and many visited it to pray and seek deliverance.
