Many important approbations by Rabbi Dov Berish Meislish Av Beis Din of Warsaw, the holy Rav Yitzchak Meir the Admor of Ger, Rabbi Yeshaya Mushkat the Rav of Prague, Rabbi Yosha Heshil Ashkenazi Av Beis Din of Lublin, the holy Rav Yaakov Aryeh the Admor of Radzimin, the holy Rav Yaakov David the Admor of Amshinov, the holy Rav Yehuda Leib Eiger the Admor of Lublin.

At the end of the Sefer, a leaf with a list of subscribers which is not mentioned by the National Library and the Bibliogrpahy of the Hebrew Book and does not appear in the copies of the site of Otzar HaChochma and Hebrewbooks.

With many important approbations by leading rabbis and Admorim: the holy Rav the Divrei Chaim the Admor and Av Beis Din of Sanz, Rabbi Yosef Shaul Halevi Nathanson the Sho’el UMeshiv of Lvov, Rabbi Shimon Sofer the Michtav Sofer Av Beis Din of Krakow and the Chasam Sofer’s son and more.

Possibly, this leaf with the list of subscribers was omitted from most copies of the Sefer since the first subscriber listed is the Gaon Rav Rosh Av Beis Din of Warsaw, Rabbi Dov Berish Meislish, who, when the book was published, was persecuted by the Russian goverment because he supported the Polish national Movement, which rebelled against the Russian occupation in 1863. After the Polish rebellion was suppressed, Rabbi Meislish was exiled from Warsaw, being allowed to return only after several months and supervised by the police until his passing.
