Rabbi Landau's Approbation
Rabbi Yosef Landau was a disciple of the Ohev Yisrael of Apta, and after his death became a close disciple of Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin.
A decade before this book was published, a fierce dispute developed between the Chabad community in Yas and the Chassidim of the Ohev Yisrael of Apta (then rabbi of the city), who strongly opposed the Chabad approach. In 1834, Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin visited the city and made peace between the two sides. This may be what led to the warm approbation accorded by R. Yosef Landau to the book by Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi.
