Sefer Ben Poras Yosef second edition - The second edition of the Sefer Ben Poras Yosef, missing the place of printing. This Sefer is Drushim on Sefer Bereishis, according to many different ways of understanding the Torah by Rabbi Yakov Yosef Hakohen Katz of Polnoa, one of the Talmidei Baal Shem Tov. This is the second Sefer by the author. It was first printed after his first Sefer, the Toldos Yakov Yosef. He makes many references to his Rebbi the Baal Shem Tov. The famous letter that the Baal Shem Tov sent to Eretz Yisrael to his brother-in-law Rabbi Gershon of Kitov is printed in the back. The Baal Shem Tov gave it to Rabbi Yakov Yosef when he was planning to go Eretz Yisrael, to give it over. When the plans failed to materialize, the letter stayed in his hands and he printed it for the reading of Klal Yisroel. Rabbi Uri of Strelisk used to say about Rabbi Mordechai of Neshchiz that he learned from this letter each day, and he compared it to the application of Tefilin! Great condition with a simple, new binding.
