Segulah Book: Ohr LaShamayim by Rabbi Meir'l Apta. Rare Edition


"May the rabbi's, the author's, merit protect you, to remove all disease and blemish from among you, and to be blessed with limitless blessings"


Ohr LaShamayim - Chassidut in the order of chamishah chumshei Torah by the Admo"r Rabbi Meir of Apta - one of the most prominent Admo"rim of all generations, ]. He is known by the name of this book, as "the author of Ohr HaShamayim of Apta." Second edition. [Lvov, c. 1850.]


The title page proclaims: "Compilations and prayers for every day and another prayer for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, and hints for marriage as spoken by Rabbi Meir HaLevi [Rottenburg], av beit din of Stubnitz and Apta, as received from his teacher, Rabbi Ya'akov Yitzchak HaLevi, the Seer of Lublin."


The book was arranged and brought to print by the author's son-in-law, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Rubin, av beit din of Głogów. In his foreword, he wrote that "As the words left his sacred mouth, he all but left material existence; the Shechinah spoke from his throat, and his sacred words were what was influenced by Heaven at that moment. This I heard from him quite a few times." Blessed is the eye that has seen the brilliance and the splendor of the light of the Shechinah that rested upon his sacred face, and happy is the ear that heard the sacred words that left his mouth in sanctity and purity."
