Or Hameir. Chassidus. Drushimn and Remazim in the Torah, Megillos and other Jewish festivals. Authored by the holy Rav the Admor Rabbi Wolf of Zhytomyr.
According to the title page, this is the Koretz [1798] edition; however, actually, it is a forged edition that was printed approx. fifteen years later. See below.
The holy copy of the holy Rav of Koidanov:
The holy, pedigreed copy from which the holy Rav Rabbi Shlomo Chaim the Alter Admor of Koidanov had studied.
One of the greatest Tzaddikim of all generations, a beloved grandson of the holy Rav Rabbi Mordechai of Lechovich and the successor of him and his son the holy Rav Rabbi Noah. Thousands came to see and feel his devoted Avodah. Was known as a wonder worker.
On the title page, his grandson Rabbi Yitzchak wrote: ‘מאא"ז מו"ר זי"ע יצחק מקאיידאנאוו’, and on the front flyleaf, it is also written: ‘להרב שלמה חיים…’
Much was written in Chassidic books about the importance of the holy Sefer Or HaMeir, one of the first Chassidic book.
On the title page of the book, it was written by his disciple the holy Rav Rabbi Eliezer Zhytomyrer that he adhered to his Creator at all times, walking and sitting. The holy Rav Rabbi Yisroel of Ruzhin also stated the importance of the book as well as other Chassidic Tzaddikim.
The book was enthusiastically approbated by the holy Rav of Berditchev as well as by additional Tzaddikim of the generation.
The year of printing of this edition:
This edition appears to be the first edition of the book, printed in Koretz in 1798. Indeed, the book is printed just as that edition. However, it is common knowledge that the printer tried to change the approbations of contemporary Tzaddikim according to which it was forbidden to reprint or copy the book for 15 years. He added five years to their prohibition so that the printing rights would remain his.
Already in 1815, in the Poretzk edition, it was written that ‘there has been a mistake’ in this edition. Scholars assume that the book was printed in ca. 1810.
