Classics. Tzion L’Nefesh Chaya. Tz’lach on Pesachim. First Edition. Prague 1783. Signed by Rabbi Hirsh Taub.

Classic work of novella on Maseches Pesachim by R. Yechezkel Landau (Noda B’Yehuda), published in his lifetime. This was first volume of the novella of the Tz’lach published.

R. Yechezkel Landau (1713-1793), was born in Opatow and learned in the great Yeshivos of Ludmir and Brod. He served first as a Dayan in Brod and later as a Rav in Yampol. Whilst in Yampol, his reputation preceded him to the renowned Jewish community of Prague who retained him as Rav, where he served until his passing. He was held in awe by his rabbinical contemporaries as well as the general population, and was greatly respected in government circles. World famous as one of the most prominent rabbinical leaders of his generation, he led a great Yeshiva and authored many important works, including his classic halachic responsa Noda B’Yehuda (after which he is known), Dagul Mer’vavah on the Shulchan Aruch and Tzion L’Nefesh Chaya (abbreviated as Tz’lach) on the Talmud.
