Lot 251:
Sefer Yismach Moshe on the Torah by the holy Rab the Admor Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum of Ohel, the father of the Siget and Satmar dynasties. Third edition published by Prade, Berlin 1928. Color title pages. Section I: Bereshit Shemot: [5], 203, [2] leaves. Section II: Vayikra Bamidbar Devarim: [4], 154 leaves, 46, [3] pp.
Two sections in two volumes with original bindings. No spines. Minor stains. Good overall condition.
On the flyleaf of volume I, a dedication in fine eloquent script: "…להעלם הבר מצוה… נתן יהודא… בן הרב הצדיק.. משה ליפשיץ שליט"א רב בפילדלפי’ מאת ש"ב המברכו בכל טוב הק’ מנחם מענדיל הלברשטאם". The initial assumption was that the writer of the dedication was the Admor of Stropkov the second Rabbi Menachem Mendel Halberstam. However, according to our reseacrh, this is not his script and apparently, another Rabbi Menachem Mendel wrote this dedication.
The addressee of the dedication is the Admor Rabbi Natan Note Yehuda who lived in Jerusalem and was known as the Admor of Philadelphia.
