Parshiyot of Tefillin Shel Yad, Tefillin D'Rabbeinu Tam, in the Holy Handwriting of the holy Tzaddik Rabbi Moshe Sofer of Pshevorsk, author of 'Or Pnei Moshe' Parshiyot of Tefillin Shel Yad, Tefillin D'Rabbeinu Tam, in the script of the Ari, in the Holy Handwriting of the author of Or Pnei Moshe. Rabbi Moshe of Pshevorsk (?-1806) was renowned among the great leaders of Chassidus as a sofer sta”m who wrote with supreme holiness and purity. The Chassidic Tzaddikim ascribed extraordinary sanctity to sta”m written by him. It is related that Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk testified about him “that he saw Dovid HaMelech standing next to Rabbi Moshe, and from then on they became acquainted” (Encyclopedia of Chassidus, vol. 3, p. 303). In a letter from Rabbi Moshe to Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimanov, he writes that people were willing to pay him a gold ducat for tefillin, yet he was unable to meet the overwhelming demand. Many traditions on this matter have been preserved. The admiration of the great Chassidic leaders for Rabbi Moshe of Pshevorsk is evident in the approbations they wrote for his holy Sefer Or Pnei Moshe. The holy Rabbi of Lublin wrote in his approbation:  ”...כשהייתי בילדותי הייתי סר למשמעתו ושתיתי מימיו הנאמנים, וידעתי שכל עניניו היו רק לשם שמים ולעשות נחת רוח לפניו ית”ש, והי' לו מדרגה שהרב הגאון המנוח מוהר”ר משה אלשיך ז”ל היה מתגלה אליו...” . Indeed, the Sefer Or Pnei Moshe is constructed upon the writings of the Alshich, often quoting and explaining his words. The sons of Rabbi Zusha of Anipoli write in their approbation testimony that they heard from their great father zy”a, who told them how the Or Pnei Moshe composed his work: “We came to bear witness to what we heard from the holy mouth of our master, our father the Tzaddik, may his soul rest in Eden, in these words…  ”לאסהודי באנו מה ששמענו מפה קדוש אדונינו אבינו הצדיק נשמתו עדן בזה הלשון... וראיתי בהיותו לומד היה דמות דיוקנו עומד לפני כמלאך ה' צבאות, ובהיותו כותב ספרו הקדוש, היה להב יוצא מאותיותיו הקדושים הכתובות. כל זה שמענו מפיו הקדוש...”.
