Yitav Lev, Sighet, 1875, First Edition.
Set Sefer Yitav Lev, Chassidic, homiletical and ethical discourses on the Five Books of the Torah [by the Holy Rebbe Yekutiel Yehudah Teitelbaum, Av Beit Din of Sighet].
Sighet (Sighetu Marmației): Maramaroscher Actien-Buchdruckerei, 1875. First edition.
Five parts in one volume. Main title page at the beginning of Part I, and five shorter divisional title pages for each book of the Torah.
The sefer was printed anonymously in the author's lifetime. The title is an acronym alluding to the name of the author – Yitav stands for Yekutiel Yehudah Teitelbaum. In his introduction, the author explains why he published his work anonymously. He cites the Panim Meirot’s introduction, where he was in doubt “whether it’s good for a person not to reveal who the author is, or whether there is an obligation to mention the author…”. Rebbe Yekutiel Yehudah humbly offers a resolution: “Regarding halachot that pertain to law, it is important to know who the author is and whether he can be relied upon… but regarding Aggadah and ethics, what do we need to know the author’s name for? The words are proven if they penetrate their listeners’ hearts… So I decided it was better to conceal it, since I am ashamed to stand among the ranks of Torah scholars, since my soul knows my little worth…”.
