Rabbi David Shlomo Eibshitz (1755–1814): One of the great Hasidic leaders of his generation, he was a disciple of Rabbi Yechiel Michel, the *Maggid of Zlotchov*, and cited his teachings in this book (Parashat Ki Tisa). He was also closely associated with other renowned Hasidic masters, including Rabbi Yaakov Shimshon of Shepetivka and Rabbi Baruch of Medzhybizh. In 1808, he immigrated to the Land of Israel, settling in Tzfat, where he passed away and was buried in the Cave of the Righteous. His gravesite, next to that of the *Bat Ayin*, has become a destination for those seeking blessings for marriage. Rabbi Eibshitz himself named his works *Levushei Serad* (on Halacha) and *Arvei Nachal* (on Hasidism), although the significance of the title remains unclear. His books achieved great renown and are highly valued. Stefansky, Hasidut 257. 32, 84 leaves. 21.5 cm. Thick blue paper. Condition: Very good.
