Kol HaTor, "abridgment of the seven Chapters of Redemption by the kabbalist R. Hillel Shklower, relative and disciple of the Gaon of Vilna". [Jerusalem: Herskowitz, 1946-1947].
Private printing (printed in 100-200 copies), in installments, without foreword and title page. The printing was never completed (interrupted in the middle of the fifth chapter, out of seven chapters).
This book is an important source of the views of the Gaon of Vilna on the Redemption, according to which, in these times of the beginning of the Redemption, one must act to hasten the Redemption with natural means, such as immigrating to Eretz Israel, settling it and building it. The composition is attributed to R. Hillel Shklower, son of R. Binyamin Rivlin of Shklow (see Hebrew description of item 112), who, according to a tradition in the Rivlin family, merited to study under the Gaon of Vilna who transmitted his views on this topic to him.
The authenticity of this composition, the doctrine it espouses and its attribution to the Gaon of Vilna has aroused controversy – see in more detail in the Hebrew description.
[1], 8-74 pages. 23.5 cm. Good condition. Some stains. Creases to several leaves. Without binding.

R. Yitzchak Kahana of Kolno (Lithuania) was a close disciple of R. Yitzchak Eizik Chaver, and composed several books on the kabbalistic teachings of the Gaon of Vilna. R. Yitzchak Eizik Chaver sent him unpublished manuscripts of the teachings of the Gaon of Vilna (the manuscript of the commentary of the Gaon of Vilna on Tikunei HaZohar which was in the possession of R. Yitzchak Kahana is presently held in the National Library). In 1853, R. Yitzchak immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Jerusalem, where he published (in 1874-1885) the three parts of his work Toldot Yitzchak, on the commentary of the Gaon of Vilna to Sefer Yetzirah and on other kabbalistic teachings of the Gaon of Vilna. He passed away on 29th Shevat 1901. In his will, he requested not to be eulogized, yet the Gaon of Dubrovna eulogized him upon the directive of R. Zalman Baharan, who stated in the name of his father R. Nachum of Shadik that R. Yitzchak was one of the 36 hidden Tzaddikim in the generation (see: R. Dovid Kamenetsky, Torat HaGra, pp. 562-564).
