“Endows the wearer with a spirit of holiness and Yiras Shomayim, salvations and healing.” – Bekishe owned and worn by the holy famous pure miracle worker and Oved Hashem, Rabbi Chaim Zanvil of Rivnitz.
Enclosed with the Bekishe is a rare and unique confirmation, from his close disciple the Gaon Rabbi akiva of Porisov Shlita, from the elder Tzaddikim of this generation and one of the giants of Kabbalah.
The Rebbe of Porisov provides also a rare testimony regarding the authenticity and credibility of the item.
“Item of Holiness” which the Tzaddik used at auspicious times, when he poured out his pure heart in prayer, when he received audience with the throngs who came seeking Hashem and his blessings, and when he engendered salvations for the multitudes.
Extremely rare, a holy item from one of the greatest latter Tzaddikim, verified with a holy seal, is not to be found.
Segulah for Yiras Shomayim, Parnassah, and Yeshuos in all areas.
Regarding the holiness of the clothing of Tzaddikim when they wore them and even afterwards:
-Maran the Chassam Sofer wrote (Parshas Toldos, item beginning with “אנכי”), that the clothing affects all who wear it, and if the person who wore it was a holy person, the clothing will impart holiness upon those who wear it afterwards.
-Also in Sefer ”Panim Yafos” by the “Hafla’ah”, the Rebbi of the Chassam Sofer, he writes (Parshas Lech-lecha, beginning with “הרימותי”) that holiness rests on the clothing of a Tzaddik even when he is not wearing them.
-In Yerushalmi Taanis, ch. 4,1 it appears to imply that Rav Ada’s uncle wore Rav’s clothing when Davening Ne’ilah.
-It is told that one time, the holy and famous Rabbi David Moshe of Tchortkov sent his father-in-law, the holy Rabbi Aharon of Chernobyl, a holy item of clothing which he had inherited from his father, the Crowning Glory of Israel, the Ruzhiner, and as soon as he received it, the holy Rebbe of Chernobyl said: although our custom is to wear white on Shabbos, and he sent me a black garment, but it is a Segulah for Yiras Shomayim”, and he immediately put it on.
-Also the holy “Divrei Binah” of Bialah used to hold the walking stick of the holy Rebbe, Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, and would dress his sons in clothing from Tzaddikim at the time of their Chuppah.
-The source from the Yerushalmi in Nedarim is known: “I had the walking stick of Rabbi Meir in my hand, and it would teach me wisdom”.
