Segulah book to be saved from a fire - at the end, there is a foreword from the son of the author, Rabbi Mordechai of Drohobych. His son writes: "It is also a protection from fire damage, as the renowned Chassid, the butcher of Skoli - the book's copyist, told me: Once, there was a fire in Skoli, and the flames almost reached the walls of the house. He held this sacred book in his hand ... and was saved from the fire - this is a sign."
