Segula Sefer! Bat Ayin, by the Rebbe of Ovruch. Zhitomir 1869- Special Chassidic Approbations with amazing blessings for buyers.


Sefer Bat Ayin on the Torah, by the Holy  Rebbe Avraham Dov of Ovruch and Safed.


Zhitomir: R. Avraham Shalom Shadov, 1869.


Approbation from Rebbe Aharon of Chernobyl who blesses the publisher and those who purchase the Sefer: "And I bless him and every person that buys this sefer for its full price, that they should see good reward in their toils, and G-d should shine His light upon them that they should merit… all types of good, Amen".


Also an approbation by Rebbi Ya'akov Yisrael of Cherkasy who blesses those who buy the sefer "And the merit of the holy rabbi should stand for them and for their children that they should be successful in all their endeavors in spiritual and material matters, with children, life and plenty".


As known in the area of Wołyń and Russia especially in the courtyard of Chernobyl [Rachmestrivka, Talna, Skver, Cherkasy, Hornistopol, Trisk] and also in Belz and Ruzhyn, that almost none of the Holy Admori"m, wrote endorsements for sefarim, the few endorsements written by the Holy Admori"m are priceless.


This Sefer was first printed in Jerusalem in 1847, according to a copy of a manuscript written by one of the disciples of Rabbi Yisrael of Fălticeni. In 1850, it was reprinted in Zhitomir according to the manuscript of Rabbi Meshulam Zussman of Zhitomir, a different disciple of the Rebbi of Ovruch. This edition has many additions to the Jerusalem edition and many changes of content and style. The edition presented here is the third edition, printed by Rabbi Aryeh Leib Rabbi in Zhitomir, son of Rabbi Meshulam Zussman, who wrote the edition printed in Zhitomir. It is based on the 1850 Zhitomir edition with the addition of the introduction and approbations mentioned above.


It is known that when the Holy sefer 'Bas Ayin' arrived to the Holy 'Tiferes Shlomo' he doned Holiday clothing and made a 'L'Chaim' to his students, and also gave his son his successor Hrh"k the 'Chesed L'Avraham' the name 'Avraham Dov Ber' the name of the Holy 'Bas Ayin' [Niflaot Tiferet Shlomo].


In the world of Chassidut this Holy Sefer was sanctified and prominent, righteous, Chassidim learned from this sefer the ways of Avodat Hashem. Recently his place of buriel became known in Safed, as a place of prayers and salvation and thousands ascend to his holy grave to pour their hearts out in prayers.

האדמו"ר הקדוש רבי אברהם דוב מאַבְריטש (תקכ"ה-תר"א), מגדולי החסידות המפורסמים. מתלמידי רבי נחום מטשרנוביל ובנו רבי מרדכי, ומתלמידי רבי זושא מאניפולי ורבי לוי יצחק מברדיטשוב. כארבעים שנה כיהן כאב"ד העיר אבריטש שעל שמה נודע שמו "הרב הקדוש מאווריטש". בשנת תקצ"ג עלה לארץ ישראל והתיישב בעיר צפת, שם יסד את בית מדרשו והיה לרב ומנהיג של קהילות החסידים. מפורסם הסיפור על נס הצלתו בעת רעידת האדמה הקשה בשנת תקצ"ז, שארעה כידוע בשעת תפלת מנחה בבתי הכנסיות. הרב מאַבְריטש הזהיר את חסידיו שלא לצאת מבית הכנסת, נשכב על הארץ, וכל הקהל סביבו אחז באבנטו. כל הבנין התמוטט, מלבד שטח מצומצם בו היו הרב והציבור. [לאחר זמן, סיפר הרב מאַבְריטש כי ראה שהרעש היה שלא כדרך הטבע מאחר שהאבנים נזרקו לצדדים ולא נפלו למטה לארץ מחמת הכובד. אזי הבין שכח הסט"א תקיף, לכן נשכב בהכנעה על הארץ - "חבי רגע עד יעבור זעם"]. לאחר הרעש שיקם מחדש את קהילת צפת, ולא נתן לנטוש את העיר הקדושה. נפטר במגפת הדבר בשנת תר"א ולאחר פטירתו פסקה המגפה. סיפורי מופת רבים מסופרים על גודל קדושתו וכוחו הגדול לפעול ישועות עבור עם ישראל. ספרו הקדוש "בת עין" נחשב לאחד מספרי היסוד של תורת החסידות.
