Beautiful Machzor for the Shalosh Regalim. Zhitomir, 1848. Large Format
Machzor for the three pilgrimage festivals per the custom of Reisin and Lithuania, Poland, Pihem, Mehrin, with commentaries in Hebrew and in Yiddish. Printed by Rabbi Chanina Lipa and Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Shapira, grandsons of the rabbi of Slavuta. Zhitomir, 1848.
Books printed in the presses in Slavuta and Zhitomir are known to have special sanctity and segulah, as the printing tools and the letters were immersed in a mikveh before beginning their work. As such, Chassidim would seek machzorim from these presses as a segulah to benefit from favorable judgement.
