* Kedushat Aharon. Articles of Chassidut on the Torah, by the Admor Rabbi Aharon Friedman of Sadigura, Warsaw, 1913. First edition. With the stamp of his son the Admor Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Shalom of Sadigura.

Specifications: 158, 6-14 pages. 28 cm.

Background: The Admor Rabbi Aharon of Sadigura died in 1912 and this book was printed during the year of mourning, with approbations from his son the Admor Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Shalom of Sadigura, who signs Hareini Kaparat Mishkavo. Part of the title page is in red ink. Title page detail: Aharon Kadosh Hashem, however, this is a mistake.

Unique Features: Stamp of the Admor his son Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Shalom of Sadigura-Przemyśl.

Background: Born in 1896 to his father, Rabbi Aharon of Sadigura was a direct descendant of the Admor Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin. He served as Admor from the age of 16 until his death in 1979, a period of almost 70 years. He was a member of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah of Agudat Yisrael from a young age, and was one of the most prominent Admors.

Unique Features: On the title page - published from time to time by the Committee for the Publication of Holy Writings of the "Knesset Mordechai" society. First booklet. However, as far as we know, no more booklets were printed.
