“Master of the worlds, I know that I am in your hand as clay in the hand of the potter”. The holy Sefer “Or Lashamayim”, by the holy Rebbe, Rabbi Meir of Apt, with the known prayer for sustenance and success made famous by the holy Tiferes Shlomo of Radomsk. First edition, Lemberg, 1850.

Maran the holy Rebbe, the Imrei Emes of Ger, head of the diaspora in Poland, with the sticker that indicates his illustrious library, and it appears as #173 in the library’s catalog.
On the title page is the handwritten signature of the pride and glory of the Ger dynasty,
Maran the holy Gaon Rabbi Yaakov Meir Biederman, the illustrious son-in-law of Maran the Sfas Emes of Gur, thus being the brother-in-law of the Imrei Emes, and later becoming also his father-in-law when the Imrei Emes got married for the second time, to his daughter, the righteous Rebbetzin Mrs. Feiga Mintcha, the mother of the Pnei Menachem of Gur.
Rabbi Yaakov Meir Biederman was also the father-in-law of the Beis Yisrael in his first marriage, making him the son-in-law of the Sfas Emes, brother- and father-in-law of the Imrei Emes, uncle and father-in-law of the Beis Yisrael, and grandfather of the Pnei Menachem. This is besides for his own enormous self-value and his illustrious Yichus, as a scion of holy Geonim of Poland for generations.
