Divrei Chaim. First Edition. Both Volumes. Munkacs 1877 - Volume one on the weekly Torah portions, volume two on the Moadim and Bava Metzia by R. Chaim Halberstam, the Divrei Chaim of Tzanz. R. Chaim Halberstam of Tzanz “Divrei Chaim” (1797-1876), was the founder of the Tzanz Chassidic dynasty. He was the son-in-law of R. Baruch Frankel-Thumim the “Boruch Ta’am” and was a talmid of R. Naftoli Tzvi of Ropchitz and R. Tzvi Hirsch of Zidichov. He was renowned not only as one of the greatest Rebbes of his time, but also as a noted Halachic authority. His court attracted thousands of followers, among them many of the generation’s Rebbes and Talmidei Chachomim and he was one the most influential Rabbonim of his era. His descendants followed in his footsteps, combining Chassidic leadership with Halachic erudition, serving both as Chassidic Rebbes and as Rabbonim in Galicia, Poland, Hungary and Romania. The Sanz dynasty is continued today through the Chassidic courts of Bobov, Klausenberg, Stropkov, Zhmigrod, Gorlitz, and others. Stefansky 119. Blier press. [2], 84, [5]. [2], 72, 48 pages. 23 cm.
