Be'er Avraham - Lviv, 1868 - First, Rare Edition - Segulah Book - "Whoever Purchases this Book, will Draw Upon Himself Blessings, Success and Longevity"
Be'er Avraham, commentary to Tikkunei HaZohar, by R. Avraham Abele of Drohobych, disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin. Lviv, 1868. First, rare edition. With approbations by Rebbe Yitzchak Eizik of Zidichov, R. Yitzchak Eizik of Komarno (author of Heichal HaBeracha) and R. Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam of Shinova.
Six interesting approbations from leading rabbis and rebbes are featured at the beginning of the book, extolling the virtues of this book and its author. The Heichal HaBeracha of Komarno wrote in his approbation: "It would be totally impossible to compose such a holy composition, if not for the Divine presence resting upon him… and it is obvious… And my request is that whoever holds this awesome book, should purchase it for himself, as a crown for his head, since these are the words of the living G-d. And the merit of the holy author will protect whoever buys this book, and will draw upon him blessings, success, longevity and only good".
The author, R. Avraham Abele, teacher of young children in Drohobych, was a concealed Tzaddik who taught little boys the Aleph Bet, and devoted his nights to the study of Kabbalah and rectification of souls. The Chozeh of Lublin discovered him at the end of his life, stating: "There is a Tzaddik here named R. Abele, who is able to bring salvations to those in need, and it became known through a wondrous episode…" (from the approbation of the Divrei Yechezkel, Rebbe of Shinova). Following the passing of R. Avraham Abele, his writings were brought before R. Tzvi Hirsh of Zidichov and the Yismach Moshe of Ujhel, "and they praised profusely the exalted holiness of the book… and they subsequently gave their approbations" (from the approbation of R. Yitzchak Eizik of Zidichov). Due to censorship restrictions, for several decades his writings could not be published, until the printing of this book (from the preface and approbations).
