Ma'aseh Avot. Regarding Observing Religious Matters and Customs - Copy which Belonged to the Admo"r of Satmar
Ma'aseh Avot deals entirely with subjects the Admo"r struggled with over his whole life.
The book is divided into three sections. In the first section, there are halachic adjudications printed from all the religious courts in "the four countries" and from our rabbis in the Land of Israel and in the Diaspora.
The second section contains printed rulings about new schools - "Shkales," which were opened in the Land of Israel, to caution one and all.
The third section contains printed rulings about the girls' schools opened in the Land of Israel, and more. Edited by Rabbi David Schlesinger.
The copy before us came from the home of, and was owned by, the Admo"r of Satmar, who was known for his uncompromising zealousness against Zionist doctrine and other innovators.
Original old gilt imprint of the title on the book's binding: "Ma'aseh Avot," and on the bottom of the binding, the Admo"r's name is embossed: "Yoel Teitelbaum."
The Admo"r Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar [1887-1979] was a son of the Kedushat Yom Tov of Sighet, and younger brother of the "Atzei Chaim," successor to his father's ways in Chassidic leadership. He was the first Admo"r of Satmar Chassidism. His greatness was known even before the Holocaust, and at seventeen years old when his father passed away, the Chassidim were drawn to him and they gathered around him from then on. He was a congregational leader and served as a rabbi of prominent communities for over 70 years. He was miraculously saved from the Holocaust, ascended to the Land of Israel and then immigrated to the United States, where he was one of those who established the Chassidic world there. He raised the crown of Chassidism, which had lost most of its children in the Holocaust, and inspired the spiritual desolation among the survivors to blossom. He worked tirelessly to found institutions of Torah study, of prayer, and for the restoration of Judaism after the European destruction. He is known for his zealous and uncompromising stance against Zionism. He authored: VaYoel Moshe, Imrei Yoel, Divrei Yoel, and more.
Very fine condition. Usage marks. Loose leaves. Original binding.
