Detailed
Description		    Only edition of these Hasidic discourses and novellae on the Torah and Talmud by R. Abraham Elhanan ben Judah of Plantsh. The author (d. 1835), was a student of R. Isaac of Berditshov and son-in-law of R. Jacob Aryeh of Rodsimin. R. Abraham was considered on of the outstanding zadikkim and kedoshim of his generation. The Hozeh of Lublin was responsible for his accepting his position in Plantsh and would address him, in their correspondence, in the most effusive and complimentary terms. Birkhat Avraham, apparently R. Abraham’s only work, has approbations from R.Dov Berush Meisls, R. Hayyim Haberstam, R. Jacob Aryeh Guterman, R. Jacob David Kalish, and R. Jacob Isaac Shapira. There is an introduction from R. Abraham’s grandson, R. Abraham Elhanan ben Dov Zevi, and the text, in two in square letters. The first part of Birkhat Avraham is on the Torah, followed by likkutim on other booksof the Bible and tractates, and then the novellae. Bound with Birkhat Avraham is R. Judah he_Hasid’s Sefer Hasidim and Midrash Eliyahu.
