CHUMASH OHR HACHAIM-BE’ER MAYIM CHAIM. WITH A RARE APPROBATION BY R. YISROEL OF RUZHIN. CZERNOWITZ 1850. FIVE VOLUMES. INCOMPLETE COPY, LACKING 4 PAGES. - Important edition of Chumash with commentaries, including Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh and Be’er Mayim Chaim. At the beginning of Sefer Bereishis there are various important approbations. These include R. Yisroel of Ruzhin, R. Chaim of Kosov, R. Sholom Kaminka and others. R. Yisroel of Ruzhin gave only a few approbations and in this letter strongly urges his Chassidim to buy this edition offering warm blessings of success. This edition was favored by various Tzadikim particularly those of The Ruzhiner Dynasty. The Seforim of the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh were received with almost unprecedented acclaim, particularly among Chassidim and Mekubalim. The CHIDA in Shem HaGedolim writes of the great esteem that the Ba’al Shem Tov had for the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh. In a famous instance, R. Chaim Halberstam (Divrei Chaim) wrote, that an individual who does not believe that the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh was written with Ruach HaKodesh is to be considered a heretic. Vinograd Czernowitz 84.
