Lot 64:
Selichot for Yamim Noraim, "as the custom of the communities of Posna, Horodna and the vicinity". Printed in Johannesberg, 1864. 75 leaves. A copy that is totally different from what is recorded in the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book and the varied libraries, including the National Library. We did not find a similar copy in the varied records.

The Mekubal Rabbi Menachem Menchin Halperin of Jerusalem (1844-1924) was born in Grodno.

In 1901, immigrated to Jerusalem and settled there. Studied at the Sha’ar hashamayim Yeshiva. Authored many books, maily Kabbalistic ones.
