Shu"t HaBa"ch. First Edition. Copy that Belonged to the Admo"r Rabbi Ya'akov Landau
She'elot U'Teshuvot HaBa"ch by the rabbi of the Jewish people, Rabbi Yoel Sirkis, Av Beit Din of Krakow, and author of the important commentary 'Bayit Chadash' on Arba Turim. Frankfurt am Main, 1697. The book's title page bears several owner's stamps of the Admo"r of Yazov: "Ya'akov B'HaGaon Mohr"a n"y Landau."
Before us is the first edition of one of the most renowned fundamental books in halachic literature. Title page with pictures of angels and cherubs.
Rabbi Yoel Sirkis [1621-1740] was one of the leading and most prominent adjudicators of halachah of all generations. He authored the Bayit Chadash (ב"ח) commentary on Arba Turim. He is referred to as 'The Ba"ch' after his book. He was a disciple of Rabbi Leibush's of Lublin (rabbi of the author of Shla"h). He served as rabbi in Pozna (currently Poznań, Poland) and in additional cities, including: Lobmla, Mezhibuzh, Belz, Brisk and finally Krakow and environs, where he served until he passed away. Alongside his greatness in Torah, he was also admired by Chassidic leaders, and it is accepted among them as an oral tradition that before the Ba"ch's passing, Gehinnom was cooled in his honor for forty days so that he could extract souls of the wicked from there.
The Admo"r Rabbi Ya'akov Landau [1834-1896] was a son of Rabbi Avraham of Chechnov, one of the elite of the Chassidic group in Kotzk. He then studied under the author of Chiddushei HaRi"m and assisted his father in the rabbinate of Chechnov. After his father's passing, he accepted the authority of his brother, Rabbi Ze'ev Wolf of Strikov. After his brother's passing, he was one of his brother's primary successors as Admo"r. He resided in Yazov, near Lodz, and is known by this location.
