“The prophet spoke great words, ” wrote the Chasam Sofer in reference to this sefer Mitpachas Sefarim.
Hagaon Harav Yaakov Emdin was one of the greatest Jewish authors of all times, whose prolific, eloquent writings are replete with metaphors and poetry.

The first section of Mitpachas Sefarim discusses the Zohar, Tikkunei Hazohar and Midrash Ha’ne’elam. The second section reveals the author’s insights on Emunas Chachamim by Rabbi Aviad Sar Shalom Basilea and other works.
