Four leaves (eight pages), commentaries to Mishnayot Tractate Maaser Sheni – Maaseh Oreg and Pnei Zaken, handwritten by the author – Rebbe Yitzchak Eizik Yehuda Yechiel Safrin, rabbi of Zidichov and Komarno. [Komarno, 1847?].
Four (consecutive) leaves handwritten by the author, the rebbe of Komarno, with emendations and deletions within the text. The leaves contain the commentaries of the rebbe to the end of chapter 3 and beginning of chapter 4 of Tractate Maaser Sheni, written in parallel columns. The columns are titled "A.E." [=Atzei Eden] and "M. Oreg" [=Maaseh Oreg].
The Rebbe of Komarno composed three commentaries on the Mishnayot: Atzei Eden, which covers nearly the entire Mishnah (ending in the middle of Ohalot) and comprises a short summary of the commentaries on the Mishnah (divided into two parts: Etz HaChaim and the kabbalistic Etz HaDaat); two other commentaries on Order Zera'im and Order Taharot – Maaseh Oreg on the Jerusalem Talmud and the Tosefta pertaining to the Mishnah, and Pnei Zaken which contains the halachic conclusions of the Rambam. The commentaries were first printed in Lviv in 1861-1862, and include Kabbalistic explanations and allusions on the Mishnah and the Halacha.
Rebbe Yitzchak Eizik Yehuda Yechiel Safrin Rabbi of Zidichov (Zhydachiv) and Komarno (1806-1874), a G-dly kabbalist and leading transmitter of the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov, a nephew and close disciple of the Sar Beit HaZohar, Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh of Zidichov. He was cherished by foremost Chassidic leaders – the Chozeh of Lublin (who served as his matchmaker), the Rebbe of Apta, R. Moshe Tzvi of Savran, his uncle R. Moshe of Sambor, R. Yisrael of Ruzhin, and others. He authored many books on Chassidut and Kabbalah, including the Heichal HaBerachah commentary to the Five Books of the Torah, based on the teachings of the Arizal and the Baal Shem Tov. The Heichal HaBerachah Chumashim are considered classic books in Chassidic thought and Kabbalah. They were treasured by rebbes of various dynasties (the Zidichov dynasty, the Divrei Chaim and his descendants, the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch, and others), who extolled the exceptional holiness of the kabbalistic teachings contained in his commentaries.
