The holy Admor, Rabbi Yekusiel Yehuda Teitelbaum , author of the ‘Yitav Lev’, lived from 1808–1883. He was the son of Rabbi Elazar Nissan Teitelbaum, Av Beis Din of Sighet, and son-in-law of Rabbi Moshe Dovid Ashkenazi, the Rabbi of Toltchwa. The Yitav Lev was a primary disciple of his paternal grandfather, the Yismach Moshe, Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum who served as Av Beis Din of Ujhely. The Yismach Lev was exceedingly close with his grandson, and revealed to him many esoteric matters he merited to understand through Divine Revelation. The Yitav Lev was also a disciple of the Admor, Rabbi Asher Yeshaya of Ropshitz. The Admor Rabbi Moshe Dovid Teitelbaum (1855-1934) was the grandson and primary disciple of the Yitav Lev of Sighet. Together with his illustrious grandfather, he edited the book ‘Tefilla L’Moshe’ on Tehillim, authored by their ancestor, the Yismach Moshe. In 1834 Rabbi Moshe was appointed Av Beis Din of Laposch. He spent his twilight years in America where he served as Admor of Volove. Throughout his life, the Yismach Moshe was a prolific commentator on all aspects of Torah including, Halacha, Aggada, Homilies, and Chassidus. He recorded his novellae arbitrarily, on an assortment of papers and notes. Following his passing, the Yismach Moshe’s writing came into the possession of his grandson, the Yitav Lev. The Yitav Lev wrote over the Yismach Moshe’s compositions, and then painstakingly arranged them in categories, These pages are the basis of part of the Yismach Moshes’s works. They reflect the initial stage of his writings, prior to any editing or categorization. Editing instructions appear on these very leaves, in the holy handwriting of the Yismach Moshe’s abovementioned saintly descendents!
