Two pages from the renowned segulah sefer , Mishnayot Komarno (Tractate Berachot), comprised of approximately 1500 words handwritten by the Admo”r Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Safrin, author of Heichal HaBerachah of Komarno – one of the leading Admo”rim of the generations, and most famous for his greatness in Kabbalistic wisdom. Including the halachahs of two old and famous segulahs for wealth and viable offspring: kos shel berachah and netilat yadayim (see below).
Aside from the immense historic value of these pages, as an original autograph of the famous Chassidic segulah sefer , they are also a real Chassidic amulet capable of drawing wealth. The passages here are from the seventh and eighth chapters of Tractate Berachot. These chapters deal with meals and their blessings, so the word “blessing” in its various forms, naturally appears in nearly every line.
An entire handwritten passage deals with kos shel berachah (Berachot 8): “Rabbi Chanina said: If one does this, taman yam v’darom yarshah – he merits inheriting this world and the next world.” The Heichal HaBerachah brings a Kabbalistic insight to this in his manuscript, with respect to the Chassidic custom to put a little bit of water in the cup before pouring the wine, as follows: “It appears they did not have the custom to put a little bit of water in a cup except for kiddush, not even in a kos shel berachah , as is the custom of yere’im , as established by the Ar”i, to put a little bit of water in the cup for kiddush. This is how it appears, the main thing is to also put a little bit of water in the kos shel berachah .
Another significant topic in the manuscript deals with the famous segulah for wealth – ritual hand-washing, as written in Tractate Shabbat (leaf 62b): “Rav Chisda said: Use abundant water and you will receive abundant goodness.” Inter alia , the Heichal HaBerachah writes there, in his broad opinion: “And what the tzaddik, the commentator Ra”p writes there pierces the heart and results from not having looked properly into the gemara …”
