Lot 125:
Draft of a sermon handwritten by Rabbi Chaim Meir, the Imrei Chaim, of Vizhnitz. On the page, the Rebbe handwrote the major points of his sermon, titled: "ב"ה בחינת הישיבה עשי"ת תש"כ" – Bechinta Hayeshiva was the occasion on which the Rebbe used to test the yeshiva students. Seizing the opportunity, he used to deliver a sermon with words of Mussar and guidance for the loyal students.
The cry of a pure heart!
This sermon was uncharacteristically sharp. At its beginning: "שחת לו לא בניו מומם, שחת נוט’ חנני שמע תפלתי…". Like his forefathers, the sermon contained Gematria and initials, revealing Razin DeOrayta. The content was about the education of boys and those who destroy their offspring with their own hands by enabling them to study heretic books. To the best of our knowledge, to this day, this Shmus has never been published.
Writtenn on verso of a typewritten leaf. 11.5X18.5 cm. Taping on verso, a fold in its center. Small tears not affecting the text. Good overall condition.
