Midrash Aggadat Bereishit with introduction by Rabbi Avraham, the Gra’s son. Lemberg 1858, pocket edition in complete condition.
Midrash Aggadat Bereishit with a famous introduction by Rabbeinu Avraham, the son Rabbi Eliyahu (the Vilna Gaon). Smaller, pocket edition, an early printing from Lemberg. [67] pages. 14cm. Two covers. Moth holes. Stains. Generally good condition.
Various notes. Stamp and signature of Rabbi Avraham Moshe Babad, rabbi of Goro-Homora, in Bukovina (Romania).
Rabbi Avraham Moshe Babad (1900-1980) was the son of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Babad, and a rabbi and chassidic rosh yeshiva in Bukovina and Israel, a student of the Gaon Rabbi Meir Arik of Tornov. He inherited his father’s position, and after WWII tried to immigrate to Israel but was sent to Cyprus in 1948 by the British, where he served as rabbi of the detention camp. After making it to Israel he was in constant contact with the Chazon Ish. Around 1952 he was appointed for a time as the Rosh Yeshiva of Yechel Yisrael of the Seret-Vizhnitz Chassidic community, led by his son-in-law Admor Rabbi Baruch Hager.
