Work by Rabbi Moshe David Ashkenazi ben Rabbi Asher Anshil. First and only edition. [for more information about the mistake in the year of printing in some lists, see Shoshana HaLevi 50]. Copy is partially missing: no cover and more; only 112 pages, instead of [3], 112, [1] in the original. Most bibliographic lists have errors in the page numberings. Tape, light stains, partial detachment of a group of pages, old binding, a little moth damage, generally good condition. Blank front page has an important stamp: “Avraham Moshe Babad, Rabbi in Yafo, before Avdak of Goro-homara Britshan.” First page has an inscription in Sefardi handwriting. Two blurred stamps: “Moshe Shmuel Hartman ben HaRav Yehezkel in Jerusalem” with an illustration of the Kotel, see below. Throughout the book are corrections and notes in pencil.
The author: Rabbi Moshe David Ashkenazi, Av Beit Din of Tolchova-Tzfat (1774-1856), son of Rabbi Asher Anshil of Rozdol and a descendant of Rabbi Shechena of Lublin. Father-in-law of Admor the Yeitev Lev of Sighet and father of Rabbi Yoel Ashkenazi, Av Beit Din of Zlatchow (the father-in-law of the Admor Kedushat Yom Tov). Among his descendants are Admorim of Sighet, Satmar, and Klausenberg. Served as the first rabbi of Tolchova for more than 40 years. Moved to Jerusalem and from there to Tzfat, where he served as rabbi at the order of Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin. He was a found of the Chassidic community of Tzfat after the earthquake. He authored this book and the Toldot Adam. His home and beit midrash in Tzfat were repaired by his grandson, Admor of Klausenberg, and it is used as the base of the Sanz institutions in the city.
Rabbi Avraham Moshe Babad (1900-1980) was rabbi and chassidic rosh yeshiva in Bukovina and Israel, a student of the Gaon Rabbi Meir Arik of Tornov. He inherited his father’s position, and after WWII tried to immigrate to Israel but was sent to Cyprus in 1948 by the British, where he served as rabbi of the detention camp. After making it to Israel he was in constant contact with the Chazon Ish. Around 1952 he was appointed for a time as the Rosh Yeshiva of Yechel Yisrael of the Seret-Vizhnitz Chassidic community, led by his son-in-law Admor Rabbi Baruch Hager.
