Tractate Eruvin of the Babylonian Talmud, Slavita, 1817.
An ancient stamp: "The seal of the synagogue of the Rebbe, the Holy Tzaddik … our Teacher and Rabbi Avraham, the rabbi of the holy community of Trisk in the holy city of Safed, may it be speedily rebuilt".
The Grand Rabbi Avraham ben Rabbi Mordechai of Chernobyl (1806-1889), the 'Magid of Trisk', the founder of the Trisk Hassidic dynasty. The Beit Midrash of Trisk was built in Safed in his lifetime, under the instructions of his son, Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Leib Twersky, who eventually became the Rebbe in his stead. The synagogue still exists today.
In addition, there are signatures and stamps of the Kabbalist Rabbi Refael Biton, the Sephardi rabbi of Magdiel (Hod HaSharon). Rabbi Biton was born in Safed. He published books of Torah writings, among them: 'Imrei Ish' and 'Chayei Ish'. He died in 2001.
Very good condition. New cover. A few moth holes.
