Lot 115:
Extremely rare. The Goralot notebook handwritten by the eldest of the Kabbalists, Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri. With these Goralot he made efforts to offer salvation to the many who came to him for support and advice. The notebook indicates but a little of the Kabbalistic greatness of Rabbeinu.
167 pp. + 2 paper clippings inside the book. The notebook contains hundreds of cases in which Rabbeinu used the Goralot: "וסובלים מריבות וקטטות בבית וצרות וכו", "אברהם בן חנה… אם יבוא היום לירושלים ומה בדעתו לעשות עם אשתו ובתו", "זה שבע שנים נשואים ואין להם בנים… אם יש להם תקוה לבנים והבעל עצבני ומתרגז", "הוא רוצה לנסוע לאמריקה עם יצליח שם", "וקופצת בשינה בלי שרואה שום חלום", "אם יצליח שני משפטים ביום אחד", cases of people who could not find their Zivug, domestic peace, health, business and many more.
In two places, Rabbeinu refereed to the Rishon LeZion Rabbi Yitzchak Nissim: "הראשל"צ רי"נ שיש לו שונאים מתחרים בו אם יכולים עליו אם יצליח להבחר עוד", "אנא השם הבא תמים אודות הראשל"צ רי"נ אם יכולים עליו להורידו או לא".
15X10 cm. New fine binding. Good overall condition.
The Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri was born at the end of the 19th century in Baghdad (Iraq), in his youth he knew and met the Ben Ish Chai and studied Torah and kabbalah under the sages of Baghdad and Jerusalem, to which he immigrated in 1922. During his first years in Jerusalem, he made a living binding books and studied at the Beit El and Porat Yosef yeshivot in the Old City. Over the years, his wisdom became famous as well as his knowledge of mysticism—many came to him to receive blessings and advice and to receive amulets for their welfare. He passed away in 2006 after living more than 100 years, and thousands of Jews participated in his funeral.
