Knaf Renanim, a nice commentary on Perek Shira. Rabbi Chanoch Zundel Luria. Warsaw, 1888.
Stamps of “Rabbi Moshe Ya'akov Ravikov” (1873-1967) – the holy shoemaker from Shabazi Street in Tel Aviv-Yaffo. A hidden tzaddik, mekubal and miracle worker. Native of Lithuania and disciple of the Mekubal Rabbi Shlomo Elyashiv, author of “Leshem Shvo V'Achlama” [the Leshem]. Immigrated to Eretz Yisrael in 1903 and after an unsuccessful venture to settle in “Kfar Uriah” in the Judean plains, he moved to Yaffo where he opened a shoemaking workshop which promptly drew needy and embittered souls, people seeking advice, arbitration or loans. Although he concealed his greatness and powers, the leading rabbis and mekubalim recognized his astounding righteousness, maintained a close connection with him and even studied under him. Rabbi Kook's statement to Rabbi Aryeh Levine that the Shoemaker is one of the 36 hidden tzaddikim of the generation is well-known. The “Chazon Ish” encouraged him to reveal himself and bless people.
People say that he used to write names, cures and segulot, on any note that he came across. Afterwards, he would hide these notes in his books [see attached material]. A note was found in this book too [bound with the book], apparently in his own handwriting.
[6], 254 pages. 25 cm. Good condition, stains. Rebound.
