. Siftei Kohen on the Torah—a work of kabbalah. Second edition, Hamurg 1690. With stamp of the Rav Babad.
A work of kabbalah by Rabbi Mordechai HaKohen of Tzfat. [2], 182 (supposed to be 192) pages. Cover is unprofessionally repaired, the edge of the text is hidden in the first few pages, many stains, some pages are brown, generally good condition. Cover and blank first page has an important stamp of ownership: “Avraham Moshe Babad, at one time Avdak of Gorahomora, Britshan, Rabbi of Enjemi-Yafo.” Rabbi Avraham Moshe Babad (1900-1980) was the son of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Babad, and a rabbi and chassidic rosh yeshiva in Bukovina and Israel, a student of the Gaon Rabbi Meir Arik of Tornov. He inherited his father’s position, and after WWII tried to immigrate to Israel but was sent to Cyprus in 1948 by the British, where he served as rabbi of the detention camp. After making it to Israel he was in constant contact with the Chazon Ish. Around 1952 he was appointed for a time as the Rosh Yeshiva of Yechel Yisrael of the Seret-Vizhnitz Chassidic community, led by his son-in-law Admor Rabbi Baruch Hager.
