Ner Yisroel by the Maggid of Kozhnitz, First Edition – Signed by Rabbi Moshe Elimelech, Son of the Chesed L'Avraham of Radomsk

Likutei Rav Hai Gaon with the commentary Ner Yisroel on the secrets of the Shem M"B (Ana B'Koach) and a commentary on Sha'ar HaShamayim by Rabbi Yosef Gikatilla, authored by the holy Rebbe, the Maggid of Kozhnitz. Printed in Lemberg, circa 1840 – First Edition.

At the end of the sefer are chiddushim and explanations from the early Chassidic Rebbes, including 58 principles from the Maggid of Mezritch, chiddushim from Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz, and the Yid HaKadosh of Pshischa. Some of these chiddushim were contested by the Baal Heichal HaBerachah of Komarna (Nesiv Mitzvosecho, Siman 12), who stated they were not from those holy Tzaddikim.

The exact year and place of printing are unclear; the title page notes Vilna, but according to Sefarim lists, the sefer was printed in Lemberg around 1840.

The title page bears the signature of Rabbi Moshe Elimelech Rabinowitz, son of the Chesed L'Avraham and grandson of the Tiferes Shlomo of Radomsk, along with additional inscriptions in an unknown handwriting.

Rabbi Moshe Elimelech Rabinowitz (passed away Tishrei 5652) was the beloved son and talmid of the Chesed L'Avraham of Radomsk. His pure righteousness was evident from his youth. Upon reaching marriageable age, he married the daughter of the holy Rabbi Meir Mordechai of Shidlov, the son-in-law of the holy Rabbi Yakele of Apta zt”l. Rabbi Moshe Elimelech was known as the "Choissan HaMelech, " as his son-in-law was Rabbi Shlomo Chanoch HaKohen, the last Rebbe of Radomsk, Hy”d.
