Buyer's premium:

Amulet “Vayehi Binso’ah HaAron” owned and used by the rabbi of Tel Aviv after he became known as the Sandlar HaKadosh. This amulet was traditionally held and said as a segulah for preservation and for favour. The Hida writes in his book Shomer Yisrael: “All who say it in order is guaranteed to have no harm come to him in dangerous places.” At the top is the parsha from the Torah and under it are holy names composed from the parsha. 8×9.5cm. Very good condition.


Rabbi Moshe Yaakov HaKohen Revikov was born in Russia in 1873. In his youth he studied in a hevruta with the HaLeshem. He was a secret kabbalist and tzaddik, known for his miracles. The Chazon Ish would send people to him who required salvation and he once was heard saying “this requires someone greater than me.” He died in 1967 and was buried in the Bnei Brak. His grave is still visited by those requiring help and salvation.
