Segula Sefer: Only Edition Darchei Ha'emunah with Endorsements from Sons of the Holy Ruzhiner, Iași 1857


First edition sefer Darchei Ha'emunah authored by Rabi Yosef David HaCohen of Zawalow.

This only edition was published in Iași, 1857, and includes prominent endorsements from the holy sons of Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin: Rabbi Dov Ber of Leova and Rabbi Menachem Nachum of Shtefanesht.

The sefer is also endorsed by Rabbi Yeshaya Schor, Av Beis Din of Iași, who asserts that owning this sefer is in and of itself a segula of "protection for the home."

Rabbi Yosef David HaCohen of Zawalow was a disciple of Rabbi Yonassan Eibeshitz and learned as well under the auspices of the holy Rabbi Meshulam Feivish of Zabrov and Rabbi Moshe Leib of Sassow. He succeeded the Ohev Yisrael of Apta as Av Beis Din of Iași until his passing in 1827.
