Nachala L'Yisrael, Lemberg, 1876 - With Rare Leaves of Calculations of the Redemption, Attributed to the Author of Tzemach Tzedek / Kol BaRama - Eulogy for Rebbe Avraham Ya'akov of Sadigura
Nachala L'Yisrael, halachic and aggadic novellae and responsa, by R. Yechiel Michel Hibner Rabbi of Nyzhniv. [Lemberg, 1876]. Only edition.
This book was printed in separate pamphlets, unsystematically, so no two copies are alike. At the end of this copy are two leaves (not found in most copies) with the Ketz HaYamin treatise attributed the Rebbe author of Tzemach Tzedek in which he foresees the future redemption in the year 1878. The essay opens with "Ketz HaYamin… found among the writings of R. Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch, disciple of the Rebbe (and also his grandson), (and some say that these are the teachings of the author of the Tanya himself)…". Two variations of Ketz HaYamin exist and this copy contains the longer version.
Bound with: * Treatise Kol BaRama, by R. Yitzchak Isaac Rabbi of Dobromil. Eulogy for his teacher R. Avraham Ya'akov of Sadigura, and halachic novellae and responsa by the author and by R. Mordechai Ze'ev Ittinga. Przemyśl, 1884. 6 leaves, only edition.
The front endpapers bear ownership inscriptions of "R. Yisrael Derlach", and the dates "1880" and "The 10th of Elul 1886".
[2], 12, [32], 1-2, 5-52 (lacking leaves 3-4 of the third pagination); 3, [50], 10, [5] leaves; 6 leaves. 25 cm. Dry brittle paper. Fair-good condition. Stains and wear. Worming. Binding and a number of leaves are detached.
The treatise Ketz HaYamin is particularly rare. R. Yehoshua Mondshine, a renowned researcher associated with Chabad, printed this composition in his book Migdal Oz (Kfar Chabad, 1980, pp. 492-503), and he writes that he inspected the book Nachala L'Yisrael in all Israeli libraries and could not find even one copy containing these scarce leaves. Only in the Lubavitch library in the US, two copies of these leaves exist (with differences). See enclosed material.
