Maros HaTzovos, by Rabbeinu Mose Alshich on Nevi’im Rishonim, printed in Offenbach in 1719, which had belonged to the holy Maggid of Kozhnitz. Containing dozens of editings, references and comments and was archived by his grandson the holy Gaon Rabbi Chaim Meir Yechiel Shapiro of Drohavitsh.

Maros HaTzovos, commentary on Nevi’im Rishonim, by the renonwed Gaon rabbi Moshe Alshich. Offenbach 1719 edition. 

On the title page, a notation trimmed in its upper part ‘This Sefer belongs … Rabbi Yisroel Av Beis Din Koddesh…’ In addition, the stamps of his great-grandson’s son appear also on the title page ‘Chaim Meir Yechiel Shapiro of Drohavitsh [Galicien]’. Additional stamps by him on other leaves of the Sefer. At the end of the volume, a different, elegant stamp of the holy Rav of Drohavitsh. 

On the title page a lengthy notation handwritten by Maran Tiferes Kedushas Yisroel of Kozhnitz writing ‘מעשה אליהו עם ריב"ל שהלכו שניהם יחדיו עי’ דף ס"ח ע"ב ד"ה או יאמר וכו’. There indeed the holy Maggid lined this passage for emphasis and stufy. 

Throughout the Sefer, dozens of editings indicating that the holy Maggid of Kozhnitz had studied it for an extended period.

The holy Maggid Rabbi Yisroel of Kozhnitz [1737-1815] one of the greatest Tzaddikim and Kabbalists of all generations. Named after Ohr Shivas Hayamim Maran the holy Ba’al Shem Tov and with his blessing. A leading disciple of the holy Rav Rabbi Shmelke of Nikolsburg, with whom he used to travel to the great Maggid of Mezeritch. Later, he became a leading disciple of the Noam Elimelech of Lizhensk and was considered the one who inherited ‘The power of the heart’ from him. Thousands flocked to him, headed by the greatest Tzaddikim: His grandsons were the awe-inspiring Saraf of Moglanitza, the holy Rav author of Meloh HaRo’im, the holy Rav Rabbi Yechezkel of Koznir, the Saba Kaddisha Rabbi Yissachar Ber of Radoshitz and the holy Rav the Chidushei HaRim, who was practically raised by him. 

The holy Rav Rabbi Chaim Meir Yechiel of Drohavitsh [1869-1924] the son of the holy Rav Rabbi Aviezri Zelig Shapiro the son and successor of the awe-inspiring Saraf of Moglanitza, who was the son of the Rebbetzen Mrs. Pearl the daughter of Ateres Yisroel the holy Maggid of Kozhnitz. The holy Rav Rabbi Aviezri Zelig was the son-in-law of the holy Rav Rabbi Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura and his son the holy Rav Rabbi Chaim Meir Yechiel was the son-in-law of the holy Rav Rabbi Yitzchak of Bohush – the eldest grandson of Tiferes Yisroel of Ruzhin. Was lovingly called "Rabbi Chaim Munya" and authored the holy Sefer "HaChaim VehaShalom". Was famed for his kindness and charity as well as his love of the Holy land and its settlement. In his old age he even immigrated to Jerusalem, where his dynasty, that of Drohavitsh and Gvadzhitz, continued.
