In the preface of Rabbi Eliyahu Guttmacher, the Tzaddik of Greiditz, the author’s father, to his son’s Sefer on trctate ‘Kinnim’, he writes of his great pain at the loss of his son, and of the relief he has by publishing his works. He also writes a Segula for salvation, by studying the Mishna with the Bartenura and Tosfot Yom Tov and his son’s commentary, and afterwards saying the following prayer regarding the dearness of Am Yisroel who are called Children of Hashem:
“In that you created amongst the multitudes of birds more Kosher ones than impure ones… only domesticated doves and turtle-doves to be brought for a Korban before you, and we are like them; do with me a charity as a father does for his son – and spell out his request so he should be answered”.
In the preface, the Tzaddik of Greiditz writes that this is a Segula for all salvations, and that a person should mention himself in this prayer every day before learning and he will be answered. See enclosed material in photo.
