Most of the Miracles You Conducted at Night: The Haggadah that Belonged to the Wonder-Worker, the Chelkat Yehoshua of Biala
Passover Haggadah - Simchat HaRegel with the Chid"a's commentary. Pietrkov, 1909. Personal copy that belonged to the renowned wonder-worker, the Admo"r Rabbi Yechiel Yehoshua Rabinowitz of Biala. First-rate ritual item that belonged to one of the tzaddikim of recent generations.
The Rebbe's stamps are displayed on the title page and the front flyleaf: "Yechiel Yehoshua Rabinowitz son of the Admo"r of Biala ... Rechov Yosef Ben Matityahu 10 Jerusalem." Many lengthy handwritten glosses appear along the leaves of the haggadah; their content has not been properly examined. There are also many usage stains on the leaves, and remnants of the Rebbe's four cups, along with many leaves of kvittelach written and thrust into the haggadah by the Chassidim over the many years.
The Rebbe's personal haggadah, from which he performed his awesome glory-saturated divine service on Seder Night, opening the holiday. This night, according to Kitvei HeAr"i, and according to Chassidic tradition, is the loftiest night of the year, and it is also the night with the greatest revelations for Chassidic tzaddikim and luminaries.
As stated, the haggadah is adorned along its entire length with remnants of the Rebbe's sacred four cups that dripped over the years, when he seemingly levitated a few tefachim above the ground, shedding materialism, in his sacred way. It is especially chilling and thrilling to examine exactly where the wine stains increase and grow stronger - as if telling us that in these passages of the haggadah the Rebbe reached his most extreme levels of shedding the material, rising ever higher. For example, during kiddush, in Ha Lachma Anya, in Rebbe Yehudah's signs: 'דצ"ך עד"ש באח"ב'; in Shfoch Chamatcha al HaGoyim and more.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of Admo"r Rabbi Yechiel Yehoshua Rabinowitz.
112 pp, 27 cm. Approximately 15 leaves of kvittelach - notes for salvation.
Moderate-fine condition. Many usage stains. Minimal worming perforations. Some of the leaves are detached. Detached binding.
