An additional title page for Sefer Orach Mishor and a detailed regular title page for tractate Sotah. Especially wide margins. Several of the first leaves are smaller and were taken, apparently, from another copy. Some moth perforations. Stains. New, stable binding. Good overall condition. Has not been examined for missing leaves.
On the title page and flyleaf, stamps "יקותיאל יהודא טייטלבוים אב"ד דק"ק סיגעט והגליל יע"א".
The Admor Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda Teitelbaum (1912-1944) was the son of Rabbi Haim Zvi (the Atzei Haim) of Siget, and son-in-law of his uncle Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar (the VaYoel Moshe). He was the brother of the Admor HaBerach Moshe of Satmar. He was a rabbi and Admor in Siget, succeeding his father at the age of 14—at his father’s funeral he received a note from the Gaon Rabbi Shaul Brach, Av Beit Din of Karola. His relative Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda Gross was brought especially from Barbesht to teach him pedagogy and Admorut. He helped refugees greatly during the Holocaust. During his lifetime the disputes between the Vizhnitz and Siget Chassidim quieted down. He was murdered at Auschwitz in Iyar 1944.
Inside the book, a significant note handwritten by him and a notation with names to be prayer for, also handwritten by him: "מנחם בן לאה לברה"ג ושיהי’ לו הצלחה בלימודו, יצחק בן לאה לרפואה שלימה בקרוב ושינצל מידי עכו"ם מבית האסורים…". For obvious reasons, an erasing line appears on the words "עכו"ם" and "מבית האסורים"
