Paragraph 1    The R. Menahem Nahum Dov Friedman copy, Rebbe of Sadgora, copy, with his inscription on fly. He inscribes his name in the format used for amulets, "Menahem Nahum Dov Ber ben Blima Reizel le-Yirat Shumai'im." Believing that the holy nature of the work will inspire the author to interceded in the heavens for the book owner, the Rebbe seeks "fear of the heavens" or the strength to fulfill his duties as a pious Jew with the fear of the Al-mighty at all times. The Sadgora dynasty of Hasidism, was established by R. Israel Friedmann of Ruzhin who arrived in Sadgora after he was released from prison in Russia and established a magnificent "court" there. His royal style of living aroused opposition from the Hasidim of Zanz. After World War II the center of the Sadgora dynasty was transferred to Erez Israel.
