Ashkenazi booklet with the handwriting of Rabbi Yeshaya Boro of Zvhil. The content is an autograph copy of a work dealing with the importance of keeping shabbat and shabbat in the Land of Israel especially. Divided into two sections: “Yalkut Shabbat” and “LeTorah min HaShamayim”. As far as we can tell it’s never been printed. The author’s identity is based on some sections that appear in other works of us, but we don’t have another manuscript from the author with which to compare.

60 written pages. 11x17cm. Written no later than 1937—the year he died. Light stains, incomplete (missing the beginning). Pages bound together without binding.

The author, Rabbi Yeshaya Boro (1867-1937) was the son of Rabbi Ben Zion. Born in Novgorod, Yelinsk (Russia) to a famous rabbinical family, he succeeded his grandfather in the rabbinate of his birth city and served there for around 30 years. In 1921 he moved to Israel and wrote Shivat Zion (drosh and Aggadah), Senigor (a collection of maamarei chazal to teach the zechut of the Jewish people). See Encyclopedia of the History of Israeli Sages, p. 216.
