שַׁרְשֹׁת גַּבְלֻת מַעֲשֵׂה עֲבֹת זָהָב טָהוֹר! Gartl – holy sash, embedded with holy pieces of fabric, remnants of the gilt Bekitshe that had belonged to Maran Or Shivas Hayamim the holy Ba’al Shem Tov, exquisite craftsmanship.
Worth a fortune!
Artistic Poilishe Gartl whose crowning glory are embedded pieces of fabric from the Bekitshe ‘Heilgen Kaftan worn by Maran Or Shivas Hayamim the holy Ba’al Shem Tov.
Background:
The Goldenboim family was famed in Safed. The head of the family was the son of the son of the holy Rav Rabbi Yisroel of Ludmir. This pedigreed family, which were a scion of Maran Or Shivas Hayamim the holy Ba’al Shem Tov, had inherited a gilt, patterned ‘Kaftan’ that had been worn by the Besht himself.
Apparently, as heard by several renowned Tzaddikim, this holy garment was used by the Besht on Sabbath while setting the pure table, what we call ‘Tish Bekitshe’, since on Sabbath day itself, Maran the Ba’al Shem Tov used to wear white clothes.
The garment was passed down through the generations and although it was treated with caution, was torn and worn. The garment was professionally repaired by righteous men who were supervised by the holy Besht’s grandson, a Chassid and Yereh Elokim who took care to preserve each and every thread that dropped out in the repair.
Miracles and wonders worked by this garment:
The repaired Kaftan was brought to some of the Tzaddikim of our generation including the holy Rav of Tosh, when he was sick. The holy Rav of Tosh wore he Kaftan for two hours and then felt better, his oxygen level rising miraculously. Additional wonders were worked with the garment over the years, as specified in the letter by the Besht’s grandson to whose family it had belonged generation following generation.
Maran the Admor of Pshevorsk Shalita did not want to touch the garment and only kissed it with awe saying ‘ס ווערד כל הון שבעלמא נאר א קוק צו טאהן’ and modestly announcing that he is not worthy of even seeing it.
The renowned holy Rav Rabbi Sholom Meir Friedman [1817-1900] the son of the holy Rav Rabbi Avraham Shlomo the son of the renowned holy Rav Rabbi Yisroel Chaim of Ludmir the son of the holy Rav the Malach.
