Zohar that Belonged to the Admo'r, the Author of 'Avnei Nezer' of Sochachov

Zolkiew, 1804. Personal and sacred copy that belonged to the first Admo"r of Sochachov, the author of Avnei Nezer, who passed it on to the successors in his dynasty, up to his grandson, the author of Chessed David of Sochachov. One-of-a-kind ritual item.


Owner's stamp (slightly smudged) on the title page in Hebrew and in Polish, of the Admo"r Rabbi Avraham Borenstein, av beit din of Sochachov. Owner's stamp on the front protective leaf, the Rebbe's grandson, "David, son of the Rebbe of Sochachov - Borenstein, Vishogrod."

There is a famous saying in the name of the Kotzker Rebbe, that the father, Rabbi Nachum of Biala, merited his son, the sacred gaon, the author of Avnei Nezer and Eglei Tal, as a result of his Torah study on Purim day, when no one else was studying. It is known that without Torah, the world cannot exist, and he was the only one who upheld the world at that time. Therefore, the heavenly court decided that, measure for measure, Rabbi Nachum would merit a son who would illuminate the entire world with his Torah.

Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for brief biographies of the Admo"rs Rabbi Avraham Borenstein and the Rabbi David Borenstein.
