Autographed Leaf Penned in the Saintly Handwriting of the Holy Kabbalist, Rabbi Yaakov Tzemach zy”a. 5422.
This is a most rare manuscript, penned by leading Kabbalist, Rabbi Yaakov Tzemach.
This manuscript is a homiletic piece on the Zohar on Parshat Tazriah.
Rabbi Yaakov Tzemach (1570-1667) was a leading Kabbalist. He published the writings of Rabbi Chaim Vital, that he retrieved from his grave. This was the foundation of the Kabbalah learning of the Ari. Rabbi Tzemach authored many deep Kabbalah books. Rabbi Tzemach was born in Silvan and immigrated to France where he studied Kabbalah with Rabbi Shmuel Vital. He later moved to Jerusalem where he immersed himself in authoring Kabbalah books and editing Rabbi Chaim Vitals writings.
The most righteous and great men would study Rabbi Tzemach’s teachings, and act according to his directives. Even the Chatam Sofer had a manuscript of his writings. Rabbi Tzemach and his teachings were highly revered by the Chassidic great Rabbis including the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, the Divrei Yoel of Satmar and many others.
The date: “Tazriah, 5422” is written at the top of the manuscript.
[1], leaf written on both sides. 20 cm. Very good condition.
Leaf penned in the saintly handwritten of the holy Kabbalist Rabbi Yaakov Tzemach zy”a, propagator of the Arizal’s Kabbalah teachings.
