Likutei Halachot, Orach Chaim, Part I, laws pertaining to morning rituals - laws of prayers, commentary following the sequence of the Shulchan Aruch sections, based on the teachings of R. Nachman of Breslov, by R. Natan of Breslov (Moharnat), close disciple of R. Nachman. [Iași, 1843]. First edition. This volume is the only one published in the lifetime of the author, R. Natan of Breslov (1780-1844). The remaining volumes were published after his passing. R. Natan's writings were arranged for print by his close disciple - R. Nachman Chazan of Tulchyn (1813-1884), who was engaged with extreme dedication in copying the writings of his teacher R. Natan, preparing them for print, and publishing them. R. Nachman's son, R. Avraham of Tulchyn, author of Biur HaLikutim, describes his father's single-minded devotion to the task of preparing the books for print, and attests that he merited to experience Divine light during the course of his work. R. Avraham further describes the difficulties his father encountered while publishing this volume: "He then girded himself to nevertheless print the first volume, Orach Chaim part I, and for this task R. Natan covered a bit of the travel expenses to Iași in Wallachia. And his wife… travelled to Breslov to inform R. Natan that if he does not provide her at least with minimal food, she and her children will die of starvation… and my father himself, throughout the journey endeavored to reduce the expenses, and at the beginning even travelled on foot some of the way, since the printing costs alone were beyond R. Natan's means, due to his extreme poverty and his concealment from humanity" (Kochvei Or, Jerusalem, 2009, pp. 282-283). Ownership inscriptions and stamps ("Belongs to R. Yosef Tzvi son of R.
