First Edition Tzafnas Pane’ach by Rabbi Yaakov Yosef of Polonne, Koritz 1782
"This wonderful treatise (on sefer Shmos)… rooted in intellectual mussar
which will excite the souls and hearts of all who hear it and learn it… just as he (Rabbi Yaakov Yosef of Polonne) received from his renowned teacher… Yisrael Baal Shem Tov…"
As in his other
sefarim, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef of Polonne quotes his illustrious rabbi, the Baal Shem Tov, bringing fundamental Chassidic ideas from him.
This first edition was published in Koritz, 1782, and was brought to print by Rabbi Yaakov Yosef’s son-in-law, Rabbi Avraham Dov Auerbach, Av Beis Din of Chmielnick, who would eventually succeed his father-in-law’s position in Polonne.
