Nahar Shalom – Jerusalem, 1867 – Copy of Rebbe Yehudale of Dzikov, With Glosses in His Handwriting
Nahar Shalom – Rechovot HaNahar commentary on R. Chaim Vital's Etz Chaim, by R. Shalom Mizrachi Sharabi (the Rashash). Jerusalem: Nisan Bak, 1867. First edition (parts of the book were printed previously in Emet VeShalom, Thessaloniki, 1806).
Copy of Rebbe Yehudah Hager-Horowitz of Dzikov. Handwritten inscriptions on the front and back endpapers: "Y. Horowitz, Jerusalem, Shmuel HaNavi no. 1". On the title page and margins of the book, many stamps of Rebbe Yehudale of Dzikov from the time he served as dayan in Klausenburg: "Yehuda Hager – Dayan – Klausenburg" / "Ioda Hager – Rabin – Cluj". Two glosses in his own handwriting (pp. 25b-26a).
Rebbe Yehuda Horowitz-Hager of Dzikov (1905-1989, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut, II, pp. 3-4), son of Rebbe Alter Yechezkel Eliyahu of Dzikov, from the Ropshitz dynasty. He was raised in Grosswardein by his maternal grandfather Rebbe Yisrael Hager of Vizhnitz, the Ahavat Yisrael, and married the daughter of his uncle Rebbe Chaim Meir Hager of Vizhnitz (adopting his surname, Hager). In 1936-1944, he served as dayan and posek in Klausenburg. After the Holocaust, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Jerusalem, where he served as lecturer in the Beit Yosef Tzvi (Dushinsky) yeshiva, and accumulated many disciples. He was very close with the Chazon Ish. He refused to lead a community, yet many Chassidim and admirers gathered around him. Near the end of his life, he lived in London, where he served as rebbe. He was known for his tremendous diligence, holiness, and great devotion in his worship of G-d. He exerted himself his entire life in Torah study. Most of his novellae on halachah and aggadah were recorded with great concision in the margins of the books in his large library. These novellae were published in the Gilyonei Mahari series.
