Segula! 'Maskil El Del' A copy of Rabbi Asher Marimanov and the court of Rabbi Shalom Eliezer M’ratzpert and the signature of his servan - A book of virtue! 'Maskil El Del' A copy of Rabbi Asher Marimanov and the court of Rabbi Shalom Eliezer M’ratzpert and the signature of his servan Rabbi Asher Yeshaya Horowitz (d. 1935), son of the Imrei Noam of Dzikov and son-in-law and successor of Rabbi Yosef, the Rebbe of Riminov. Chassidic leader from a young age. In 1905 he settled in Cracow, escaped to Vienna during WWI and then returned to Cracow. Author of Maadanei Melech. Rebbe Shalom Eliezer Halberstam (1862-1944) was one of the younger sons of the Divrei Chaim Rebbe of Sanz, a leading righteous man and wonder-worker in the pre-Holocaust generation. Already as a youngster, prominent rebbes spoke of his holiness and lofty soul. For instance, during his stay in Sanz, the Tiferet Shlomo Rebbe of Radomsk reputedly pointed at R. Shalom Eliezer and said that at the coming of the Messiah he will be among the Jewish leaders. At the time of his father's death, he was only 14 years old, and was raised by his elder brother, the rebbe of Shinova. He married his niece, daughter of his sister and brother-in-law Rebbe Mordechai Dov Twersky, rabbi of Hornostaipil. In 1886, R. Shalom Eliezer settled in the city of Tarnów (Galicia), and cloistered himself in the kloiz of the Sanz Chassidim, studying Torah day and night. In 1899, he established his court in Ratzfert (Újfehértó, Hungary), remaining there for over 40 years. His reputation as a wonder-worker drew Jews from all over Hungary to his court in Ratzfert, and they experienced salvations through his blessings (see Rabbenu HaKadosh MiRatzfert, Bnei Brak 2007, for numerous testimonies and accounts of miracles and salvations he effected). During the Holocaust he refused to abandon his community, and perished with them in Auschwitz in Sivan 1944.
