. Zeh Yinachamu on the Mechilta, first edition—Amsterdam 1712, completed via the insertion of an artistically hand-done final page.
The first section of a commentary on Midrash Mechilta, by Rabbi Moshe ben Shimon Frankfurt. With important endorsements from rabbis of the period, introduction from the author’s father. [3], 64 pages. Cover repaired, stains, generally good condition. Last page, missing at some point, was replaced by an artistic handwritten manuscript page, made to look like an original printed page, with pretty handwriting including a colophon and titles of the Mishnah, with a note in the margins of the gilyon. Cover has a 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.
