Set of Ein Ya'akov in [6] Volumes. Copy that Belonged to Rabbi Yitzchak David of Lelov, with his Signature and Notations
Sefer Kutanot Or - Ein Ya'akov - complete set. Six parts in six volumes. Lvov, R' Shlomo Yarish Rapoport Press, 1808. Copy that belonged to Rabbi Yitzchak David, son of Rabbi Mosheleh of Lelov, the first rebbe who ascended from Poland to the Land of Israel. His sefarim and other belongings, like those of other Admo"rim of the Lelov dynasty, are especially rare and hard-to-find.
Rabbi Yitzchak David of Lelov's handwritten signatures appear at the beginnings of the volumes: "Yitzchak David son of Rabbi Moshe of Lelov, " and there are notes in the sefarim that attribute them to him. There are also many notations on the flyleaves in antique scripts and with antique signatures, possibly from one of the dynasty's progenitors (that Rabbi Yitzchak David brought together with him and his father when they ascended to the Land of Israel). An antique note on one volume reads "Przedbórz, Kinsk, Przysucha" and more - these are the cities where the leaders of the dynasty lived.
Although the tradition has been almost completely abandoned at present, until the previous generation, almost every study hall in every town held a class in Ein Ya’akov between Minchah and Ma’ariv – and sometimes even after Shacharit. To this day, there are Admo”rim of Lelov that maintain the ancient tradition and give a class on Ein Ya’akov after Shacharit.
This book was printed at R’ Shlomo Yarish Rapaport’s prominent press. Several years previously, this same press printed the sacred book Noam Elimelech, known to have been printed by workers at the press who were among the 36 hidden tzaddikim.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the sacred Admo”r Rabbi Yitzchak David Biderman.
[6] volumes, one of which is somewhat incomplete at the beginning and another at its end. 18.5 cm. The complete set is impossible to find. Mif'al HaBibliographiah did not see the sixth volume at all.
Moderate condition. Some of the notations are blemished. Many worming perforations and tunnels. Detached bundles of leaves, detached bindings (some of the volumes are lacking the front or back bindings, some lack both).
