Good condiiton.  Rabbi Baruch Hager of Seret-Vizhnitz (1895-1964), the son of the Ahavat Yisrael of Vizhnitz. He was a member of Mo'etzet Gedolei HaTorah. He was known as the Mekor Baruch after his work on the Torah. He was a huge Talmid Chacham, and received his Rabbinic Semicha from leading contemporary rabbis:: Rabbi Meir Arik and Rabbi Avraham Menachem Mendel Steinberg. He first married the daughter of Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach (the Maharid of Belz), and served as Rav of Poylen and Kutzman, and in 1936 he became the first Rav of Seret, Bukovina, where he established the Beit Yisrael VeTomchin DeOrayta Yeshiva and headed it, until the Jews were expelled during the Holocaust. He led the Transnistria and Dzorin exiles taking care of the oppressed and, later, the survivors. After the war, he lived in Antwerp, and despite the pleading of its residents refused a rabbinic position there, saying the thing he most wanted was to move to Eretz Yisrael. In 1947 his wish came true, and he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael, where he settled in Haifa. Being a visionary, Rabbeinu reasoned that he wanted to make the spiritual wilderness bloom, so a few years later he established the Ramat Vizhnitz neighborhood on the Carmel. He authored several works, including a comprehensive commentary on the Choshen Mishpat, but unfortunately, most of those were lost during the Holocaust. He was buried next to his forefathers, Admorim of Vizhnitz, next to his father, the Ahavat Yisrael.
