Kaballah: Arba Me’os Shekel Kesef with the Approbation of Rav Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev – Koretz [1804]
The sefer Arba Me’os Shekel Kesef is a collection of Kabalistic topics, attributed to Rav Chaim Vital and his Rebbe the Ari.
This edition of the sefer had several variants, with different approbations. This copy has the approbations of Rav Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev of Rav Yehuda Segal of Voltshisk.
These rare approbations were not printed in the next edition [Cracow 1886] even though it was printed by Chassidim, because the printer didn’t have this variant with these approbations.
Koretz [5564 1804] first print. [2], 91, [1]. Condition: Slight tears at the bottom of the title page, slight damage to the frame. Old signature on last page.
A Distinguished Sefer: On the title page appears the majestic Ruzhiner stamp “Shlomo Friedman, ” referring to the Sadigura Rebbe Rav Shlomo, son of the first Rav Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura. At the bottom of the title page is the stamp of his grandson, Rav Shlomo Friedman, the Rebbe of Tchortkov-Tel Aviv.
