Toldot Yitzchak, Chassidic essays on the Torah portions, the festivals and on Tehillim, by Rebbe Yitzchak Shapiro of Neshchiz (Niesuchojeże). Warsaw: Nathan Schriftgiesser, 1868. First edition. Two title pages. Author's name printed in gold on first title page.
Many stamps of the author on the first five leaves. This book was published several months after the author's passing. It was presumably stamped by one of the family members, using the stamp from the rebbe's estate.
Rebbe Elimelech of Grodzisk writes in his approbation of the segulah in possessing this book: "It is fitting for every Jewish person to bring this book into his home so as to procure enduring blessing".
The author, Rebbe Yitzchak of Neshchiz (1789-1868), was the youngest son of Rebbe Mordechai of Neshchiz and close disciple of R. Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev. Throughout his lifetime, Rebbe Yitzchak of Neshchiz rarely lectured in public. However, in the last year of his life, he delivered lectures on the Torah and on Tehillim almost daily, which were recorded and published in the present book.
