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.

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).

He later established a yeshiva in Minsk, which he relates to in the preface to this book (for more information about the author, see: An Anonymous Yeshiva Dean in Volozhin – R.
