Old binding is worn. Signs of use, wear, mainly at the edges of pages. Generally ok condition at the beginning of the book, further into the book it is in much better condition.


Old listings of ownership on the cover have been erased. Stamps of ownership of Rabbi Avraham Moshe Babad of Goro Homora-Yafo.


Rabbi Avraham Moshe Babad (1900-1980) was the son of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Babad, and a rabbi and chassidic rosh yeshiva in Bukovina and Israel, a student of the Gaon Rabbi Meir Arik of Tornov. He inherited his father’s position, and after WWII tried to immigrate to Israel but was sent to Cyprus in 1948 by the British, where he served as rabbi of the detention camp. After making it to Israel he was in constant contact with the Chazon Ish. Around 1952 he was appointed for a time as the Rosh Yeshiva of Yechel Yisrael of the Seret-Vizhnitz Chassidic community, led by his son-in-law Admor Rabbi Baruch Hager.
