Manuscript, thoughts about Chassidism and G-d's service, containing essays titled Sefer Refu'ot HaNefesh, Likut Divrei Chachamim and Avodat Pnim, handwritten and signed by Rabbi "Aharon Yosef Luria" of Tiberias, 1931-1935.
Rabbi Aharon Yosef Luria of Tiberias (1894-1969), the oldest son of Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Luria of Tiberias (1882-1952, one of the heads of the Or Torah Yeshiva) and a prominent Slonim Chassid in Tiberias. An outstanding Torah scholar, holy man and devoted servant of G-d. During the days preceding World War I, Rabbi Luria longed to travel to Slonim to visit the Rebbe, author of Divrei Shmuel but was not successful. In 1929, the Slonim Rebbe, author of Beit Avraham visited Eretz Israel and Rabbi Aharon Yosef grew very close to him and considered this period of his life as the light and soul of his being (he wrote in a letter that from the time he met the Rebbe, he became like a gushing spring and then he began to write his thoughts). During those years, he also began studying kabbalah and his knowledge in this area is evident in this notebook. This is one of the original notebooks in which he wrote his thoughts (with dates of writing), and which constituted the framework for his celebrated book Avodat Pnim [printed after his death in 1974 in several editions], which is a basic book for studying Slonim Chassidism's way of serving G-d. Some of the things in this notebook were not printed.
