Chessed L'Avraham. Rabbi Avraham HaMalach, Printed per the Instructions of his Grandson Admor Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin with his Approbation
Homilies on the Torah by Rabbi Avraham, son of the Maggid Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezeritsch, known as "Rabbi Avraham the Angel" because of his asceticism, along with compilations and holy sayings from noted righteous people. Czernowitz, 1851. [2], 40 leaves. 24 cm. On the title page: As per the instruction…of Admor ..Yisrael of Ruzhin ztz"l, grandson of the angelic author. Approbation of Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzin at the beginning of the book (one of his only three approbations) in which he relates that his grandfather's manuscripts were taken from him 'when the gentiles persecuted me' – while he was imprisoned in Russia. R' Yisrael of Ruzhin died during the period of time that the approbation was written and the book was published, so the approbations of his sons Rabbi Shalom Yosef of Ruzin and Rabbi Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura were added. The writings were printed according to a copy found by Rabbi Chaim HaLevi of Berditchov in the geniza of Rabbi Aharon of Chernobyl. In addition to the writings of Rabbi Avraham, the work includes elucidations on the Torah by Rabbi Avraham Kalisker of Tiberias and other compilations from prominent Chassidic masters. Rare.
Stefansky, Chassidut 276.
