First Edition: Kunteres Shalom Yerushalayim – Lublin, 1923 (תרפ”ד) Title: Kunteres Shalom Yerushalayim (קונטרס שלום ירושלים) Author: Rabbi Yehuda Nach ben Rabbi Avraham Alexander, Av Beit Din of Baranov Publication: Lublin, 1923 (תרפ”ד) Condition: Good - Late binding. Rare and valuable. About the Book: Shalom Yerushalayim is a unique tractate dealing with the laws of building the Holy Temple (Beit HaMikdash), the sanctity of Jerusalem, and the sanctity of the Land of Israel. The work was written by Rabbi Yehuda Nach, the son of Rabbi Avraham Alexander, who served as the Av Beit Din of Baranov. The main subject of the work revolves around the halachic discussions and spiritual reflections concerning the future rebuilding of the Temple and the holy status of Jerusalem. Rabbi Yehuda Nach delves into the sanctity of the Land of Israel, reflecting the importance of these concepts in Jewish law and mysticism, especially in the context of the era in which it was written. One of the more unique elements of the book is its afterword, which contains a praise-worthy and somewhat prophetic statement by the holy rabbi of Ostrautza (הגה”ק מאוסראווצע), discussing the future presence of non-Jews in the Land of Israel during the era of the Jewish redemption, which adds a significant dimension to the historical and messianic tone of the text. Condition and Specifics: Binding: The tract has a late binding, meaning it may have been rebound or repaired at a later time. Rarity: This work is considered rare. It is part of a very limited number of Jewish texts discussing the halachic and spiritual aspects of Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Temple at the time. Physical Condition: The overall condition is good despite the late binding, and the book appears to be in relatively well-preserved condition considering its historical age.
