The Book Sha'ar Naftali with the Handwritten Signature of Rabbi Meshulam HaCohen Av Beit Din of Lvov, Student of the Maggid of Mezeritch and Brother of the Author of Brit Kehunat Olam
Sha'ar Naftali, by Rabbi Naftali Katz, author of Semichat Chachamim. Brunn 1757. The handwritten signature of Rabbi Meshulam HaCohen Tzedek, author of Kitzur Tosefot Yom Tov, the author's grandson.
On the book's title page is the signature: "The small one Meshulam HaCohen Tzedek grandson and great-grandson of the author". This is the handwritten signature of Rabbi Meshulam HaCohen, the author of the well-known book Kitzur Tosefot Yom Tov on the Mishna, and the book Pitchei Nida. Served as Av Beit Din of Zorbena, Bolechow, and later as the Rabbi of Kyritz where he succeeded his brother, Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac HaCohen author of Brit Kehunat Olam, who is known as 'Sar Beit HaZohar', and later served as Dayan and Maggid Meisharim of the Chutz La'Ir congregation of Lvov, where he is buried.
Rabbi Meshulam HaCohen Tzedek was the son of Rabbi Yoel Katz, Av Beit Din of Etnia, the son of Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Katz, the son of Rabbi Bezalel, the son of Rabbi Naftali Katz, the author of Semichat Chachamim and Sha'ar Naftali. We can learn about the greatness and importance of Rabbi Meshulam HaCohen Tzedek in the eyes of the Maggid's students from the fact that Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi came to request his approbation for his book Seder Birkat HaNehenin. His signature in this form "Meshulam HaCohen Tzedek" appears in his approbations to the book Otiyot D'Rabbi Yitzchak, Zolkiew, 1801, and to Seder Birkat HaNehanin of the Ba'al HaTanya.
