Aharon Shmuel ben Naphtali Hertz HaKohen Katz. VeTzivah HaKohen [Chassidic commentaries]



FIRST EDITION. Printed on green tinted paper. Title in red and black.
ff. 2, 16, 20-77. Some staining and repaired worming, previous owner’s marks. Modern blind-tooled calf. 4to. Vinograd, Sdeh-Lavan (Bialazerkow) 2; Stefansky, Chassiduth 193.
Sdeh-Lavan (Bialazerkow): 1823
A disciple of R. Pinchas of Koretz and the Maggid of Mehzritch (both of whom he quotes profusely), the author (d. 1814) served as Rabbi of Stefan and Yampola. He was the son of the Rabbi of Ostraha and Sdeh-Lavan and great grandson of R. Naphtali Katz (author of Semichath Chachamim). R. Shimon Aschkenazi of Zelichov writes in his approbation here that he never gave approval to any author: “However when I visited Sdeh-Lavan to meet my teacher and master…R. Abraham Joshua Heschel of Apta, these holy writings were brought to me…my eyes lit up and these words were like sweet honey in my mouth.” See M.M. Biber, Mazkereth LeGedolei Ostraha (1907) pp. 254-60. Rare. One of only three works published in this Ukrainian town (whose name means "White Church.”).
