Lot 263:
Sefer Halachot Olam on Masechtot Chulin, Brachot, Psachim, and Niddah, with a separate title page for each, by the chassid Dov Beer Kresik, a student of the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch and rabbi of Karlevitz. Approbation of the Admor Rabbi Aharon of Chernobyl. Only edition At the beginning of each section the author wrote chiddushim on the masechta and then has a separate section with practical piskei halacha.
The title page of Chulin notes: “and these are cross-referenced to piskei halacha of the writings of the Admor [Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch].” The Admor of Chernobyl’s approbation is effusive in its praise: “The author…was considered highly by my father-in-law Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Luavitch” and he blesses purchases of the book “HaChafetz Lema’an tzidko… yevarech kol ish…whoever buys this book!”. Under the approbation of Rabbi Aharon, his son Rabbi Yeshaya Meshualm Zusya of Chernobyl writes “after seeing the great love felt by my father…and his announcement to bless anyone purchasing the book, I also went to buy it.” The blank first page has the signature of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Sacks, grandson of the Chafetz Haim.
Rare book! [2], 34, 118, [4], 34, [4], 54, [4], 30, [2] pages. Fair to good condition, moisture stains, moth holes in the internal margins, binding is defective and loose.
The chassid Rabbi Dov Beer Kresik was a huge gaon and an important student of the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch. He wrote Meir Einei Sofrim, Halachot Olam, and other books. He led the yeshiva in Wolkovisk, and then served as Av Beit Din of Holsk. He became rabbi of Karlowitz and is buried there.
