This could be the handwriting of his grandfather, Rabbi Chaim Halberstam, the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, given that this leaf was originally attached to a book stamped with the seal of Rabbi Chaim Halberstam’s son, Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam of Shinova, and, as stated, there are also his grandson Rabbi Avraham Shalom Halberstam of Stropkov’s signature and stamp, and the year of the book’s printing also fits the years Rabbi Chaim Halberstam lived [a photocopy of the book’s title page with the holy rabbi of Shinova’s stamp on it will be provided to anyone who asks]. On the other hand, Rabbi Avraham Shalom Halberstam of Stropkov had a grandson [his son Rabbi Mendele’s son] whose name was Chaim Halberstam, to be left for the reader’s discretion.
Rabbi Avraham Shalom of Stropkov [1857-1940] the first Admor of Stropkov and son of the holy rabbi of Shinova, was a great wonder-worker, and thousands of people from all over Hungary and Galicia streamed to him for salvation, for words of salvation and mercy and mainly for the childless to be blessed with children, and what his holy father said about him in renowned, “I took his mother for the sake of Heaven, and it says in Tanna D’vei Eliyahu that he who marries for Heaven’s sake will have children who save the Jewish people.” He was a wondrous person in all his ways, and all the leaders of his generation called him “Most Sacred.”
