Siddur of the gaonim, mekubalim and chassidim. Third volume of prayer and blessing homilies – Shabbat: shacharit and mussaf – edited by Rabbi Moshe Yair Weinstock. Lengthy dedication on the flyleaf in the handwriting and with the signature of the hidden kabbalist Rabbi Yosef Woltoch, ztz”l
The tzaddik and kabbalist Rabbi Yosef Woltoch of Zlotshev – ‘The Street Sweeper.’ He lived in the Old City of Jerusalem in his youth, and each day he would secretly enter the renowned Beit-El yeshiva for kabbalists to learn from their ways. He slept little, and dealt very much with kabbalistic wisdom with wondrous and extensive expertise. He would prostrate himself on the graves of tzaddikim all around the country. He met and studied with hidden tzaddikim and soon became renowned as a salvation worker. He even knew how to remove “spirits” which were attached to people. He passed away during Iyar 1983.
Nine lines in his holy handwriting and with his signature. Very fine condition. Including confirmation that the book was purchased from the Tzidkat Yosef yeshiva’s library.
