By the Gaon Rabbi Avraham David Lavut (Lebot), Av Beit Din of Nikolaev, great-grandfather of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. First Edition. Warsaw, 1868. Includes approbations from: Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch, son of the Tzemach Tzedek, Rabbi Yosef Tomarkin, Av Beit Din of Krimenchik, Rabbi Doberush Meizlish, Av Beit Din of Krakow,   Rabbi Yosef Shaul Natanzon of Lviv and others. Rabbi Avraham David Lavut was born in 1785 to Rabbi Yehuda Leib. Around the age of thirty-five he was appointed Moreh Tzedek in Nikolaev, and about ten years later became the city rabbi and rabbi over forty settlements in the area. He headed the Kollelim established by the Rebbe Tzemach Tzedek and was connected with the Chabad Rebbes—the Tzemach Tzedek and the Maharash. In his later years, he corresponded extensively with the Maharash regarding his seforim. As the Maharash writes in his approbation: when the sefer is available it should be sold at the price the author sets, “and apart from the inherent merit of the sefer, it is appropriate and fitting for lovers of Torah…” The Lubavitcher Rebbe writes in the preface to Kav u-Naki, citing what he heard from his mother, the Rebbetzin Chana, that Rabbi Avraham David excelled in sharp intellect, exceptional talents, and extensive knowledge of the entire Talmud. In 1881 he printed in Vilna his sefer Beit Aharon Ve-Hosafot, containing indices of all the decisors in Tanakh as cited in both Talmuds and the Midrashim—a unique work of genius and meticulous care, especially in an era without computers or modern technology. Part 1: [4], 4-26, [1], 27- 59. Part 2:  39 Leaves. 28 cm.
