Ma’ayan Tahor—laws of family purity in Yiddish, by the Admor Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum (author of the Yismach Moshe and forefather of the Sighet/Satmar dynasty).

The book was handwritten as a guide to his family, and later published in an untold number of editions. At the beginning of the book is a letter in Yiddish written by the author, in which he strongly urges the duty of women to reflect on these laws. The booklet was printed as part of a siddur “Korban Minchah” in Krotshin 1958.

Extremely rare: the National Library has the siddur but not this section (the Ma’ayan Tahor). [2], 48 pages. No binding, stains, wear on two leaves with slight damage to text. Bits of tape on a number of pages, overall good condition.
