Sefer Segulah with approbation of the Yeitev Lev: Menachem Zion (Rimnov)—Lemberg 1878.

Menachem Zion has droshim on the Torah and holidays (Chassidic), by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimnov, written by his student Rabbi Yehezkel Panet, forefather of the Desh dynasty and author of the Mar’eh Yehezkel. The Rahak of Rimnov would not write down his divrei torah—those that have remained for future generations were written down thanks to the Rahak of Desh (see more in the letter printed in the Mareh Yehezkel, Siman 104).

This edition is considered a segula book because of the approbation which appears in it for the first time from the Yeitev Lev of Sighet, in which he writes: “all those who buy this book will have plenty opened up for him from the heavens, blessings and success, life and sustenance.”

Approbation of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Desh: “particularly because it is known by all that when the above Admor (Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimnov) talked about the manna he had great influence over all of Israel, and the merit of the Admor has influence over us all.”

In the book HaChochma Me’ein, the grandson of the Yeitev Lev (Rabbi Yitzhak Horwitz of Stotchin) notes: “Most of the book Menachem Zion from the Rahak of Rimnov deals with the story of the manna (the Rahak of Desh already wrote something similar in his introduction to the book: “22 years he would give drash every Shabbos on the manna”), because the Rabbi of Rimnov prayed greatly for the parnasa of all of Israel.” For many years it has been a known segula to say the parshat haman as set up by the Rabbi of Rimnov on Tuesday of Parshat Beshalach.
