Good condition.  The Mekubal Rabbi Shimon Zvi Horowitz (1870-1947), One of the founders of the Ashkenazi Yeshiva of Mekubalim Sha’ar Hashamayim. As the Kabbalah states that the ten lost tribes will be discovered before the final Geulah, in 1929 Rabbi Shimon Zvi was sent to Asia on behalf of the Jerusalemite Mekubalim from all the different communities to investigate the matter. For two years, walking by foot or riding a donkey, he discovered remains of Jewish settlements in far-flung places cut-off from the rest of the world. He even travelled as far as Tibet, but the Indian authorities suspected him of having criminal motives, and he was therefore forced to stop his journey. He recorded his experiences on his journey in his book Kol Mevaser that was published in 1923.
