Seen in the upper section is Isaac bound on the altar and Abraham raising the knife to slaughter him. Above them, an angel grasps the knife in one hand and points at the ram, caught in a rose bush. Around the dome appears the verse "…Do not stretch forth your hand to the lad, nor do the slightest thing to him…". The border reads "Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac / and the binding of Yitzchak on behalf of his descendants may You remember it today with compassion" and the year. Signed in the plate, within a medallion, at the bottom left corner: "Moshe son of Yitzchak Tehrani, resident of Jerusalem".

"Pictures from the Gerrer Court", an album with 20 interesting pictures documenting the life of the Alter Rebbe of Ger, R. Avraham Mordechai Alter, author of Imrei Emet. [United States? second half of the 20th century].
Reprints of vintage photographs. Most of the photographs were taken before WWII, some in the spa town Marienbad (Mariánské Lázně). In most photographs, the rebbe is seen surrounded by his family and Chassidim.
The Alter Rebbe of Ger – R. Avraham Mordechai Alter, author of Imrei Emet (1865-1948), third Rebbe of the Ger dynasty. Son of the Sefat Emet, he was a holy and outstanding Torah scholar. A founder of Agudat Yisrael and prominent leader of Orthodox Jewry before the Holocaust, he served as rebbe to tens of thousands of Ger Chassidim in Poland. Most of his Chassidim and dozens of his descendants perished in the Holocaust, yet the Rebbe miraculously survived and immigrated to Jerusalem, where he rebuilt the Ger Chassidic dynasty and its yeshivot. His surviving sons – Rebbe Yisrael the Beit Yisrael, Rebbe Simcha Bunim the Lev Simcha and Rebbe Pinchas Menachem the Pnei Menachem – all in turn served as rebbes. He is called Imrei Emet after his book, but is better known as "Der Alter Gerrer Rebbe".
20 pictures, approx. 10X13 cm. All are reprints of vintage photographs. Very good condition. Placed in an elegant album ("Classic Album B'klyn"); each leaf with metal corners. The album is in good-fair condition. Stains, wear and some tears.

Archive of hundreds of family photographs of the Meyer and Auerbach families, relatives of the father and mother of R. Yissachar Meyer, dean of Yeshivat HaNegev. Germany and Eretz Israel, [late 19th century – mid-20th century (and several more recent photographs)]
Some 500 photographs documenting the history of both families, beginning from the late 19th century in Germany, until their immigration to Eretz Israel and their lives there in the mid-20th century. The photographs depict R. Yissachar Meyer as a child in Germany, as a boy and young man in Eretz Yisrael; his father, Yaakov Meyer; his mother, Leah Meyer née Auerbach; his sisters Yehudit, Shoshana and Ayala Meyer; his grandfathers and grandmothers, including Aharon and Helen (Hindche) Auerbach from Hamburg, R. Yissachar Seligmann and Mathilda Meyer from Ronsburg, his great-grandparents, Meyer and Yittel Meyer née Selig; and many other family members; photographs of the tombstones of family members; photographs and postcards documenting the synagogue in Regensburg, where his grandfather R. Yissachar Seligmann Meyer served as rabbi, and more.
Yaakov Meyer, father of R. Yissachar Meyer, emigrated from Germany to Eretz Israel before his family, with the intent of setting himself up and bringing his family over shortly thereafter. During his stay in Eretz Israel, he took ill and was hospitalized in Egypt, where he passed away. Leah Meyer and her four children immigrated to Eretz Israel via Amsterdam after his passing, in 1938, and settled in Petach Tikva.
R. Yissachar Meyer (1927-2010), founder and dean of Yeshivat HaNegev in Netivot. Born in Hamburg, he immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1938 together with his three sisters. He began studying in the Lomzha yeshiva in 1941, and was later one of the first group of students in the Ponovezh yeshiva. Upon the instructions of his teacher, R. Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman, he was sent to Casablanca, where he founded a yeshiva for higher studies and an Orthodox seminary for girls. After serving as lecturer in the Bnei Akiva yeshiva in Kfar HaRoeh, he moved to Netivot in the early 1960s, with a group of Dati-Leumi students, with whom he founded the Azata yeshiva, formally known as Yeshivat HaNegev. Within a few years, the yeshiva grew and numbered some two hundred students. A large community later developed in Netivot, led by R. Yissachar Meyer, and schools were established for boys and girls. In his final years, R. Yissachar Meyer and his disciples founded branches of the yeshiva in Sderot and Moshav Zru'a, around which communities of G-d fearing, Torah Jews developed.
Many photographs have handwritten captions on the verso, in Hebrew or German. Most photographs are pasted to album leaves and some have handwritten captions and dates in German on the leaves. A few of the photographs which were taken or reprinted in Eretz Israel bear photographers' stamps, including "Photo Frankfurter" and "Tzalmaniah L. Eisenberg" in Petach Tikva and "Photo Aharonsohn Brothers" in Bnei Brak. Some of the photographs from Germany also bear photographers' stamps.
Size and condition vary. Overall fair condition. Damage, creases, tears and stains to many photographs.
Enclosed: postcard sent by R. Yissachar Meyer to his family from Safed, during his stay in the Margalit guesthouse. 1947. German.

Oil painting by the kabbalist R. Yehuda Leon Patilon.
Oil on cardboard. Signed: "Leon".
The painting depicts a hatted boy smoking a pipe.
R. Yehuda Leon Patilon (ca. 1905-Cheshvan 1974), painter and kabbalist, was renowned as a wonder-worker with foreknowledge of the future and well-versed in the domain of souls and reincarnations. Born in Salonika, Greece, he was orphaned of his father at a young age, and was raised by his grandfather, a kabbalist, who bequeathed to him his kabbalistic approach in worship of G-d, which included rising at midnight to pray and study of Kabbalah. Following his conscription in the Greek army, he fled to Turkey, then to France (where he presumably studied art). In ca. 1946, he immigrated alone to Eretz Israel, where he drew close to a group of hidden Tzaddikim in the Shabazi neighborhood of Tel Aviv. These men, who earned a living from manual labor while secretly gathering to study Kabbalah together, included: R. Moshe Yaakov Rabikov ("the shoemaker"), the hidden Tzaddik R. Hillel Simchon, R. Avraham Fish ("the floorer"), R. Ezra Eliyahu HaKohen (father of "the milkman", R. Chaim Kohen), and R. Yosef Waltuch "the street-cleaner", who earned a living cleaning the streets of Tel Aviv. His teacher R. Hillel Simchon arranged his match with his wife – Rabbanit Victoria from the Jerusalemite Nisan family, and they lived in great modesty in the Shabazi neighborhood of Tel Aviv, barely sustained by the sale of his paintings. R. Patilon would set the price of his paintings based only on the cost of the paper, the paint and the work time, although as a talented artist, he could have asked for a much higher price (see: Mishpacha Magazine, issue 1404, 12th Nisan 2019, pp. 352-363). R. Yehuda Patilon would paint whilst engrossed in spiritual reflections, completely dissociated from the material world, yet his paintings remain realistic. The figures often featured in his landscapes bear a somewhat mysterious character (thus for instance, when his paintings depict a man carrying baskets, this usually hints to his close friend, the hidden Tzaddik R. Yosef Waltuch, who would often walk around carrying baskets, and travel with him to holy sites in the Galilee). Wondrous stories are retold of his knowledge of hidden matters and the future, revelations of Eliyahu HaNavi, of people who came to him in quest of salvation; and of blessings and promises which were astoundingly fulfilled (see Mishpacha, ibid).
Approx. 28.5X34.5 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes to paint and cardboard. Slight warping to cardboard. 51X57 cm frame; good condition.
