Auction 13
Lot 293:
Torat Zevach by Rabbi Shlomo Gantzfried, the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch—Ungvar 1869. Signatures, lists, and notes in Hebrew and Yiddish on the book’s pages. On the page before the cover is a halakhic discussion on wearing the wearing of a gartel by a shochet while blessing the shechitah. At the start and end of the book are segulot and various remedies from the Rav of Staretin. Rabbi Yehuda Zvi Brandwein (1780-1844) was the Admor of Staretin, a student and successor of the Saraf of Starlisk. Was well-versed in medicine, a kabbalist who received from his teacher the Sefer Refuot which his teacher had received from Rabbi Shlomo of Karlin, and an additional Sefer Refuot that was owned by Yitzhak Isaac of Kaliv. Many would come to ask for his medical help and his blessings, and he was known as a miracle worker. His segulot were printed by his descendants in “A Pamphlet of Remedies and Segulot,” printed at the beginning of the book of Psalms Divrei Shalom, and later in the book Degel Machane Yehuda. The remedies and segulot brought in this book, written by hand, were not printed in that pamphlet and are an exceptional historical find.
