רבונו של עולם ידעתי ……..
“Ribono shel Olam, I know that I am in Your hands, as clay in the hands of an artisan.”
The first sefer to print the special prayer from the Apter Rebbi beginning with the words Ribino Shel Olam Yodati… which has gained popularity in the past years.
The Tiferes Shlomo of Radomsk was known to recite this tefillah every day, expressing that it is a tried and true segulah for success and prosperity (Ohel Shlomo, Pietrekov, 1924 p. 72)
This sefer was written by Rabbi Meir Halevi of Apta and published by his grandson Rabbi Yaakov Yosef the son of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Rubin, Av Beis Din of Glagow, who was a grandson of Rabbi Naftali of Ropschitz. In his approbation, Rabbi Menachem Mendel writes, “When these words emerged from his holy mouth, the physical existence of the world was almost annulled, as the Divine Presence spoke from his throat.”
The holy
Admor Rabbi Meir Halevi of Apta (d. 1828) was one of the great chassidic masters in Poland, and a disciple of the Chozeh miLublin whom he cites frequently in his sefer. When the Ohev Yisrael departed Apta for Mezibuz, Rabbi Meir succeeded him as Rav of Apta. In 1815, he was crowned Admor and many began flocking to his holy Court to seek his wisdom, most notably among them the Divrei Chaim of Sanz and the Tiferes Shlomo of Radomsk.
