Magen Dovid -Tolna Chassidut - First Edition Zhitomir 1852 with old Kvittlach.


The book Magen David, on the Torah and festivals with a Chassidis by the Rebbe Rabbi David of Tolna,


First edition printed during the author’s lifetime – at the famed printing press of the Shapiro brothers in Zhitomir


This book of Chassidut is considered to be a Segulah because, in the third edition, which was also printed in the author’s lifetime, there is a special blessing written by the author to the publisher in which he writes: And I say that any wise man who buys this book and studies it, I hope that it will be a medicine for his body and soul in spirituality and physicality in this world and the next and that he will have temporary and eternal successes.


The Rebbe David Twersky of Tolna, son of Rabbiu Mordechai the maggid of Chernobyl (1898-1982). He was the grandson of Rabbi David Leikes, a disciple of the Ba’al Shem Tov, and was named after him. He married Rebbetzin Yenta Devorah, the granddaughter of Rabbi Zusha of Hanipol and Rabbi Wolf of Tcherna-Ostrog. A while after his father died in 1937 he began to serve as a Rebbe in Wasilkow next to Kiev. After moving to Tolna his court grew and thousands of disciples starting flooding to him. Rabbi Dovid, like his father before him, used to travel from village to village to encourage the Chasidim. During his travels, he visited Odessa twice.
