Chassidic Drushim on the Torah and Moadim by the Admor Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimnov, written by his disciple Rabbi Yechezkel Panet, the head of the Deyzh dynasty (the Mar’eh Yechezkel). The Rav of Rimnov never wrote his Divrei Torah—those that remain are those that were written down here in this book by the Rav of Deyzh (see the letter printed in Mar’eh Yechezkel 60, 104). This book is one of the most prominent early works of Chassidut.

Printed in Lemberg (as in Chernovich), 1862. 64 leaves. This edition has an approbation by Rabbi Yitzhak Shimshon Horwitz-Meizlish, Av Beit Din of Chernovich. Stains. Good overall condition. New binding. Stains. Fine lower margins. Small format. 

Segulah for Parnasah!
This book is considered a segulah for livelihood. The work “HaChochmah Me’Ein” writes in the name of the Yeitev Lev’s grandson (Rabbi Yitzhak Horowitz of Stotchin): “Most of the work Menachem Zion from the Rahak of Rimnov delves into the Parshat HaMan (the Rahak of Desh already wrote that in his introduction: “22 years he would give a drash on the Parshat HaMan), since the Holy Rabbi of Rimnov would pray for parnasa for all of Israel.” It is also well-known as a segulah to say the Parshat HaMan from the takana of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimnov from the Tuesday of Parshat Beshalach, and many do indeed say it.

In another edition of the work the idea is mentioned in the approbation of the Yeitev Lev of Sighet: “
Anyone who buys this holy book will have manna from the Heavens, filled with blessings and success.” Also the approbation of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Desh: “Especially since it is known that the Admor said that divrei torah on parshat haman would influence the Jewish people for the better, and may Hashem awaken to the merit of the Admor t
o provide us and the entire Jewish people with blessings.
