Manuscript that was not Published with Discoveries: Divrei Torah, Sippurei Tzaddikim and Words of Emunah by the Important Gaon Rabbi Chaim Eliyahu Sternberg with Many References to Rabbeinu the Admor the Divrei Yoel of Satmar - Three notebooks handwritten by the important Gaon Rabbi Chaim Eliyahu Sternberg, the confidante of Rabbeinu Hakadosh of Satmar in Eretz Yisrael, with Chidushei Torah, Sippurei Tzaddikim and personal stories of Emunah, including the first source of the Yeled Peleh story with Maran the Admor Aharon Kedosh Hashem of Belz, Rabbi Chaim Eliyahu being the one who 'discovered' him.  To the best of our knowledge, a considerable part of this content was never published! 1. ”Kedushat Eliyahu - the history of the Gaon author of the Yismach Moshe and his descendants by the young Chaim Eliyahu Sternberg, 1967” . 74 handwritten pages about these Tzaddikim, including firsthand stories ”I have heard from the Admor of Satmar Shlita” - referring to Rabbeinu Yoel of Satmar.  Later in this notebook, several pages about ”the history of my grandfather, Rabbi Aharon Hagadol of Karlin and the history of my grandfather Rabbi Shlomo of Karlin” . At its end, several pafes ”by the Admor of Satmar Shlita” introducing a story about Rabbeinu of Satmar who visited Rabbi Mordechai of Nadvorna with the Atzei Chaim when they were children and he tested them, stating that Maran the Divrei Yoel ”הוא מאיר הוא זורח, בל”א (ער לייכט ער שיינט)”!!! 2. Avot Eliyahu - on Pirkei Avot - 1960, Haifa. 115 handwritten pages, Rabbi Chaim's elucidation on Pirkei Avot with Divrei Torah and Chassidut. Here too, he refers the Admor of Satmar:  ”דהנה כ”ק אדמו”ר מסאטמר שליט”א פירש...”; ”שמעתי מאדמו”ר מסאטמאר שליט”א ...”. 3. Sefer Razei Deheimanuta, for strengthening Emunat Hashem and the Bitachon in the Hashgacha Elyona and Beit Mashiach Tziddleinu... 85 pages ”להלהיב הלבבות באמונה ותקוה בביאת משיח צדקנו...”. Many Mamarim to strengthen the Emunah and Bitachon in the World's Creator. Several times, he refers to the book by the Rav of Satmar Al Hageulah VeAl Hatmurah .  Then there are 3 pages titled ”לפרסם ניסים שעשה הקב”ה לי ושראיתי” . Among others, he recalls the story about the Yeled Peleh, stating that he was the one who 'discovered' him. Following is the story:  ”בירושלים באו אלי בשנת תשי”ב ליסד ת”ת בנחלת שבעה... פעם אחת בחנתי ילד בן ארבע והנה נחרדתי לאחר שהוא למד חומש רק עד שני ואמר את החומש בעל פה... עד סוף החומש... ולקחתי כמה ספרים ואמר הכל בעל פה, ואחר נתפרסם הדבר שיודע כל התורה כולה בעל פה ובאו מכל תפוצות ישראל לראות הפלא הזה, ולאחר שנה בערך שכח הכל ונעשה כאחד האדם. ותליתי זאת שבית הכנסת הזה שלמד הילד הי' על בית קברות של תנאים ונדבק בו אזה נשמה של תנא...” [In Jerusalem, people approached me in 1952 to found a Talmud Torah in Nachalat Shiva... Once, I examined a four-year-old child, and I was utterly shaken: although he had only studied the Chumash up to Sheini, he proceeded to recite the entire Chumash by heart... until the very end. I then brought several other books, and he recited them all by heart. Later, word spread that he knew the entire Torah by heart, and people came from all across the Jewish world to witness this wonder. After about a year, he forgot everything and became like any ordinary person. I attributed this to the fact that the synagogue where the child studied was situated atop a burial ground of Tannaim  and the soul of a Tanna had attached itself to him...] (see more about this Yeled Peleh and Rabbi Chaim Eliyahu's involvement in the book Tzintzenet Haman by Rabbi David Chaim Zilbershlag, volume 2, p. 223 and onwards).  A total of 274 handwritten pages. Minor stains. Very good overall condition.  *** The Gaon Rabbi Chaim Eliyahu Sternberg (1909-1994) Rav of the Katamon Neighborhood on behalf of HaEidah HaChareidit and the Rosh Yeshiva of Satmar in Haifa.
