Manuscript, the first ‘Torot’ of the of the Holy Rabbi the Knesset Mordechai of Sadigure when Becoming Leader after the Passing of his Father the Kedushas Aharon. Sukkot, 1913.

"While sitting on his holy chair in the Sukkah on Monday, the third day of Chol HaMoed immediately after returning from the holy grave and receiving a Kvitel and saying May you spread upon us a Sukkah of mercy … may Hashem Yitbarach help him from now on to behave with mercy… the small value (Mispar Katan) of Sukkah in Gematria is as the small value of Aharon…"

Before us are the first Divrei Torah of the Holy Rabbi the Knesset Mordechai of Sadigura immediately after returning from the holy grave after the passing of his holy father the Kedushas Aharon of Sadigura. Appearing later are words he said on Leil Hoshana Rabba, on Leil Shemini Atzeret when departing from the Sukkah and more.

Appearing on an additional leaf are the first Divrei Torah for Parashat Vayera handwritten by a Hassid and signed by the Hassid Rabbi Alter Shuv, who writes in a letter the entire Divrei Torah to his dear son ending with greetings to his family and descendants.

The Divrei Torah appear in the holy Sefer Knesset Mordechai, on Parashat Vayera and they are copied word for word. The Torot when becoming the leader of the Sadigura dynasty appear with slight changes.

Written on the upper part of the pages ‘אמרי קודש מהרה"צ מו"ה מרדכי שרגא [!!] שליט"א מס"ג‘ – probably, since the Hassidim were used to calling the Knesset Mordechai in his holy father’s lifetime ‘Rabbi Moteny’u’ – this might possibly explain the error that occurred when the writer started writing the full name of his Rav, who just ascended the throne, and accidentally wrote ‘the Holy Rabbi Mordechai Sheraga’, a name that was spoken fluently among the Hassidim after the Holy Rabbi Mordechai Sheraga of Husiatyn; however, undoubtedly, these are the Torot of the Holy Rabbi the Knesset Mordechai.

Moron the Holy Rabbi Modechai Sholom Yosef of Sadigura author of Knesset Mordechai [1896-1979], one of the greatest Admorim of his generation and one of the most important leaders of Israel in recent generations.
