Thick volume of Chamishah Chumshei Torah with chamesh meggilot , haftarot and prayers for the entire year. Published by Reuven Mass. Jerusalem, Chorev Press, 1960.
The flyleaf bears the rosh yeshivah Rabbi Yechezkel Sarna’s personal stamp. Especially lengthy glosses in his hand are found along the volume’s leaves, from his later years.
It is very interesting to note that at the end of this volume there is a prayer for the welfare of the State of Israel and a memorial prayer for the soldiers who fell during the War of Independence. It is well-known that the gaon Rabbi Yechezkel Sarna’s attitude towards the State was positive at its establishment.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Yechezkel Sarna – “Reb Chatzkel.”
