Stamps of R. Moshe Nechemia Hakohen, rabbi of Warta, Poland, and signatures of his son, R. Levi Yitzchak Hakohen.
R. Moshe Nechemia Hakohen, rabbi of Warta, (1790-1854) was originally a disciple of the Seer of Lublin. After the Seer's passing, R. Moshe became a follower of Rebbe Simcha Bunim of Pshischa (Przysucha). He developed an unusual closeness to Rebbe Simcha Bunim, even serving as his Shaliach Tzibur (cantor)during the High Holy Days, due to his intelligence, keen insight, and continual state of happiness. A letter is known in which R. Simcha Bunim writes to R. Moshe Nechemia, "[I am] a friend who loves you wholeheartedly, Simcha Bunim" (see enclosed material).

His life and times are described in the book "HaRav shel Simcha" (Lodz, 1930). His son, R. Levi Yitzchak Hakohen (died 1920), a noted philanthropist in Lodz, was a chassid of Vorki and Alexander.
