“Composed from a pamphlet with a commentary on the Haggadah”, an important work on a variety of subjects organized alphabetically, by Rabbeinu Haim Yosef David Azoulay (HaHida). 90 pages (180 sides). Stains and light defects, generally good condition. Blank first page has a very important stamp: “Baruch ben Tzaddik Mohari of Vizhnitz, Av Beit Din of Seret and the Galil”. Additional note in the local language. Number of notes and numbers written in the margins of the index.
Rabbi Baruch Hager of Seret-Vizhnitz (1895-1964) was the son of the Ahavat Yisrael of Vizhnitz. He was a member of the Council of Torah Sages, named the Mekor Baruch after his work on the Torah. He was a huge Talmid Chacham, and was certified for the rabbinate by greats of the period: Rabbi Meir Arik and Rabbi Avraham Menachem Mendel Steinberg. He first married the daughter of Rabbi Issachar Dov Rokeach (the Maharid of Belz), and served in the rabbinates of Poylen and Kutzman (cities), and in 1936 he was the first rabbi of Siret (Bokovina), where he established the Beit Yisrael v’Tamchin d’Oraita yeshiva and led it, until the Jews were expelled during the Shoah. He headed the Transnistria and Dzorin exiles, and dealt with public business and on behalf of the welfare of the oppressed and, later, the survivors. After the war he was in Antwerp, and despite the pleading of residents he refused to join the rabbinate there, saying the thing he most wanted was to move to Israel. In 1947 his wish came true, and he moved to Israel, where he settled in Haifa. Being a visionary, our rabbi reasoned that he wanted to cause the spiritual wilderness that existed there to flower, so a few years later he established the Ramat Vizhnitz neighborhood in the foothills of the Carmel. He authored a number of works, including a comprehensive commentary on the Choshen Mishpat, but unfortunately most of those were lost during the time of the Shoah. He was buried next to his forefathers, Admorim of Vizhnitz, next to his father, the Ahavat Yisrael.
