Sefer Segulah: Ohr HaChochmah Two Volumes First and Rare Edition Lashtzov, 1815 * Explanations on Chamisha Chumshei Torah by Rabbi Uri Feivel of Krisnopli, prized talmid of Rabbi Kehos of Verish and the Maggid of Mezritch, disciples of the Baal Shem Tov. It is based on all four methods of Torah study - pshat, remez, drush, and sod (simple explanations, allusions, deeper meanings, and kabbalistic Torah), which are collectively known by the acronym ‘Pardes.’ The sefer opens with approbations from the leading Torah giants and tzaddikim of the generation: the Chozeh of Lublin, Rabbi Tzvi Aryeh of Alik, Rabbi Meir of Brod, the Yeshuos Yaakov, Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Margolios of Brod, and others. This holy sefer is known to be a segulah for protection, particularly for women in childbirth. Rabbi Yeshaya Zilberstein, Av Beis Din of Waitzen, would regularly send the sefer Ohr HaChochmah to women in labor, to place under their pillow as a segulah for an easy delivery.” Before us is a complete set of both volumes: Volume I: Bereishis - Shemos: [2], 76: 46 leaves. Volume II: Vayikra-Devarim: [1], 60, 59-103 leaves. The printing of this sefer began in the month of Adar 1814, and therefore, the chiddushim on Vayikra-Devarim (Volume II) were printed first, as these were the portions read during those months. It was followed by the printing of the chiddushim on Bereishis and Shemos (Volume I). Lashtzov, 1815. First and rare edition. Printed by Rabbi Moshe Tzikor, the author's nephew.
