22 signatures! of the Gaon & Tzadik Rabbi Shmuel Heller Rabbi of Tzfat.

Sefer Shibulei Haleket, Saloniki 1796.


Throughout the pages there are 22 signatures in various forms of the Holy Gon Rabbi Shmuel Heller of Tzfas.


A Torah genius, Rabbi Shmuel Heller born in 1803, was raised in the home of the Chozeh of Lublin, and following his counsel ascended to Eretz Israel.in 1817  He served as  Dayan & later Rabbi of Safed for 60 years from 1841 onwards and was one of the greatest Chassidic leaders in the Land of Israel. 


He wielded great influence in setting the public agenda. His rulings and actions reveal a clear trend that placed at its center the Land of Israel and the ancient traditions that represented for him a coveted, pre-exile world. He craved what was perceived as authentic to the Land of Israel and strove to connect with local traditions (See Otzar HaRabanim 19134).


He passed away in Safed on the 22nd of Tevet, 1884. He authored: Taharat HaKodesh, Derech Nesher, Kavod Melachim, Divrei Mishpat, Shivrei Luchot, and others.
