Kadosh Venorah! Copy of the Holy Rebbe Avraham Mattisyahu Friedman of Shtefanesht & the Holy Rebbe Yosef Greenwald- The Vayechi Yosef of Pupa. Yonas Ilem, Amsterdam, 1648. First Edition - Ma'amar Yonat Ilem. A Kabbalistic work by Rabbi Menachem Azariah of Fano. First Edition. Amsterdam, 1648.  Flyleaf with stamps of the Holy Rebbe Avraham Mattisyahu Friedman of Shtefanesht & the Holy Rebbe Yosef Greenwald- The Vayechi Yosef of Pupa.  The Holy Rebbe Avraham Mattisyahu of Shtefanesht (1848-1933) was the only son of the Admor Harav Menachem Nachum of Shtefanesht. His illustrious grandfather the holy Ruzhiner, was the mohel by his bris and at the age of three taught him the letters of the Alef-Beis. Harav Avraham Mattisyahu’s fame spread throughout Europe; his wisdom and pure service of Hashem drew countless chassidim to his doorstep to entreat him for counsel, blessings, and salvation. Among his disciples was the famous Holy Rebbe Chaim Zanvil Abramowiz of Ribnitz.  The Admor’s service of Hashem was legendary, as he prayed for a very long time and spoke little. In 1969, his body was brought to Eretz Yisrael and was buried in Nachalas Yitzchak. Until today, people from around the world flock to the gravesite to pray for salvation and success in his merit. The Holy Rebbi Yosef Greenwald of Pupa (1903-1984), was a prominent rabbi and leader. After his marriage, he was appointed as a dayan in Satmar, where his uncle and mentor, Rabbi Eliezer Dovid Greenwald, served as rabbi. After his mentor’s passing, Rabbi Yosef took over as head of the ”Keren L’David” yeshiva. After his father’s death, he became the rabbi of Pupa until the outbreak of the Holocaust, in which most of his extensive family perished, may God avenge their blood. After the war, he spent time in Antwerp, England, and later moved to the United States, where he rebuilt the Pupa community. His numerous works include the Vayechi Yosef series, Darkei Yosef, Petach Tov, and others. He was the father of the present-day Pupa Rebbes. Antique signature to bottom of last page.
