Segulah! Kedushat Levi on the Torah, Berditchev, 1816 edition in which the Mamarim on the Torah and the Kedushot for Hanukkah and Purim were published for the first time as well as the enthusiastic approbation by the Ohev Yisroel of Apta and the holy Rav Rabbi Aharon of Zhytomyr. Pedigreed copy!
This pedigreed copy is stamped by the holy Tzadik Rabbi Mordechai David Teitelbaum of Drohobytch-Stotshin, who immigrated to Safed in his old age. Additional ownership notation: זה הספר שייך לה’ הארץ ומלואה יהודא ליביש חתן… אב"ד דק’ ראפטשיץ" [incomplete and erased].
Inside the book, varied late notations, handwritten glosses and Kvitlach – notes of Segulah and prayer that were inserted into the book and left there for salvation and success. Ownership notation from the period: ‘[לד’ הארץ] ומלואה יהודא ליביש חתן [ראה"ק? (=erased, possibly what was written was ראש הקהל)] דק’ ראפטשיץ.
In the lifetime of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, only the Mamarim on the Kedushot for Hanukkah and Kedushot for Purim were published. After his passing, the Mamarim on the Torah were published by his descendants.
This is the first edition that was published by his grandson Rabbi Yosef ben Rabbi Meir containing both sections.
Moreover, this edition contains many additions based on a manuscript by the author, which were marked with a palm.
On the first leaf, an enthusiastic approbation by the holy Rav the Ohev Yisroel of Apta, praising the writings, the virtue of Rabbeinu and the Segulah of this edition (protection and shield anywhere he is) and encouraging people to buy it: "ובוודאי זכות הגאון בעל המחבר זלה"ה וקדושת ספרים הנ"ל יהיו למגן ומחסה בכל מקום אשר ימצאו להטות עליהם כנהר שלום...וראוי לכל ישראל לסייע לדבר מצוה וימהרו ויחושו לקנות ספרי קודש הנ"ל בכסף מלא". In addition, for the first time, an approbation by the holy Rav Rabbi Aharon of Zhytomyr, also praising the book and anyone who buys it.
The holy Rav Rabbi Mordechai David Teitelbaum of Drohobytch-Stotshin, the son of the holy Gaon Rabbi Nachum Zvi of Drohobych, the son of Rabbi Eliezer Nissan of Drohobych and Ohel and the brother of the Yitav lev of Siget. Rabbi Mordechai David was the son-in-law of Rabbi Chanina Horowitz of Olinov. In 1902, immigrated to Eretz Yisroel and served as Admor in Safed. His succeeding son is Rabbi Yitzchak Teitelbaum, from whom the Hosakov dynasty continues to this day.
