The Famous Drashos on Parshas Hamon: Divrei Menachem by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Riminov Lemberg, 1863. First Edition. * Sefer Divrei Menachem containing teachings and holy sayings for Shabbos as spoken by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Riminov, including numerous chiddushim on Parashas Hamon and the significance in reciting it. For twenty-two years, each and every Shabbos, the holy Rebbe of Riminov delivered profound and beautiful drashos on Parshas Hamon, yet only a small fraction of them were ever published. Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Deyzh, son of the Mareh Yechezkel, who was a primary disciple of the Rebbe of Riminov, writes: “It is known to all, that when the aforementioned Rebbe delivered Torah on Parashas Hamon, he drew down heavenly influences of goodness upon the Jewish people” (in his approbation to Menachem Tzion). It is interesting to note that the Bnei Yissaschar of Dinov brings a brief teaching which he heard from the holy Rebbe of Riminov, and he writes: ”And he greatly expanded upon the matter in his pure and eloquent words, but it is impossible to capture them in writing, and the discerning will understand.” That very same chiddush appears in the present sefer at greater length, and where the Bnei Yissaschar was brief, the tzaddikim may find it in its full form in the Divrei Menachem before us. The Admor Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Riminov (1745-1815) was one of the most prominent leaders of ‎Chassidus in Poland and Galicia. As the prime disciple of Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, he was crowned Rebbe after the latter’s passing, and drew thousands to his holy court ‎in Riminov. Among his noted disciples were the tzaddikim Rabbi Naftali Tzvi of Ropshitz, Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh of Ziditchov, the authors of Maor Vashemesh, Bnei Yissaschar and others. Lemberg 1863. First edition.

The Rebbe asks: “Is it reasonable that merely because they did not know what it was, it should be given the name mon?” He answers: ”It appears that the manna was the food of angels, and it is a very spiritual food that refined their intellect and thoughts in the service of the Creator, each day more and more... Thus, if one of Yisrael would speak with his fellow today, and would behold his spiritual level, and then speak with him the next day, he would not recognize him as the same person with whom he had spoken the day before, for so greatly had his holiness increased through the gathering of the manna, and so wondrous was the purification of his intellect and the fiery awakening of his heart toward the Creator. And so, each and every day they ascended to a higher level, to the point that none of them was able to recognize his fellow, and he would be compelled to ask, “Man hu — who is this man?”
