Mesilat Yesharim - Copy of Rebbe Yisrael Friedman of Husiatyn
Mesilat Yesharim, by R. Moshe Chaim Luzzatto - the Ramchal. Lemberg (Lviv), [1851].
Copy of Rebbe Yisrael Friedman of Husiatyn. His stamp appears on the title page: "Library of Yisrael Friedman of Husiatyn" (the name of the rebbe was deleted in blue ink, yet it is still legible).
Signature on the title page: "Yaakov Yehuda Leib Menkish". The book contains several handwritten corrections.
Rebbe Yisrael Friedman of Husiatyn, elder rebbe of the Ruzhin dynasty, was the last grandson of Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin. Born in 1858 to Rebbe Mordechai Feivish of Husiatyn, he succeeded his father in 1894 in Husiatyn, and from 1914, in Vienna. In 1937, he immigrated to Eretz Israel, settling in Tel Aviv. It is well known that during the Holocaust, when there was concern that the Nazi army, under the command of Rommel, would reach Eretz Israel and annihilate its inhabitants, R. Yisrael prayed at the gravesite of the Or HaChaim in presence of leading kabbalists, and then said that the enemy would not rule over Eretz Israel. He passed away in Tel Aviv on Chanukah 1948 and was buried in Tiberias.
