Sha’arei Tzedek on the mitzvot that only apply in Israel, by Rabbi Avraham Danzig the Chayei Adam. First edition. [1], 28, 16 pages. See Stefanski Sifrei Yesod 205. Missing one page which does not appear in most copies (including the one in the National Library). Moth holes and damage, tape in the margins of all the pages, stains, new binding, overall fair condition.
The title page and last page have the signature: “Haim Berlin of Volozhin”. The body of the work has many handwritten corrections of Rav Berlin.
Rabbi Haim Berlin of Volozhin was the son of the Natziv. He served as Chief Rabbi of Moscow, and as leader of one of the most famous yeshivot in the world, the Volozhin yeshiva (known as the Mother of Yeshivot). In 1906 he moved to Jerusalem, and after the death of Rabbi Shmuel Salant he was crowned Rabbi of the Eida Ashkenazit in Jerusalem, though he refused to receive the honor officially.
