A Powerful Segulah for Salvation: In his introduction to Ken Meforeshet, the saintly Rabbi Eliyahu Gutmacher writes: “It may be that in a time of need, one who seeks salvation from Hashem should study Mishnah with the commentaries of the Rav (Rambam), Tosefot Yom Tov, and my son's commentary. Afterwards, let him pray in whichever language he is fluent… and specify his request – and he will be answered. And if salvation does not come, let him do so once daily for up to three days.” The book Sukkat Shalem (leaf 107) records: “We have heard of distinguished Jewish families who practice this regularly and do not rely on doctors.” In recent years, this segulah has regained prominence, and public study sessions of Ken Meforeshet are held in many communities. The revered Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky highly valued this segulah and advised many people to study this tractate with this specific commentary. His wife, Rebbetzin Kanievsky, testified: “Hundreds and thousands of people were saved through this segulah of studying Mishnayot Kinim with the Ken Meforeshet commentary” (MeHashem Yatza HaDavar, p. 379). Rabbi Eliyahu Gutmacher of Greiditz (1796–1875), a disciple of Rabbi Akiva Eiger, served as Rav in Pleschen and later Greiditz. A genius and kabbalist, he became renowned in his final years as a wonder-worker, and people flocked to him from far and wide seeking salvation—so much so that he had to publish public notices asking them to stop. His glosses on the Talmud appear in the Vilna Shas. Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Gutmacher (1818–1870), son of the Tzaddik of Greiditz, is especially known for this very work Ken Meforeshet. His father assured in the introduction that his son’s commentary would be a legacy for generations and an effective spiritual tool for salvation. Physical Details: 28 cm. [28], 42 leaves.
