Detail Description

Hasidic teachings of the Admor and founder of Slonim, R. Abraham ben Isaac Mattathias Weinberg (1804–1883) who, after heading the yeshivah in Slonim, became a Ḥasid. His teachers in Ḥasidism were the ẓaddikim R. Noah of Lachowicze (Lyakhovichi ) and R. Moses of Kobrin. When R. Moses died, R. Abraham assumed the role of ẓaddik and became one of the leading rabbis of his time. His influence extended mainly throughout the northwestern part of the province of Polesie, Poland-Lithuania, between the cities of Slonim and Brest-Litovsk and between Kobrin and Baranovichi. Abraham's writings include Hesed le-Avraham (1886) and Yesod ha-Avodah (1892). His works, which include principles of his ḥasidic teachings, attest great scholarship. He advocated the study of Torah for its own sake, prayer with devotion (devekut), love and fear of the Creator, humility and confidence. He saw asceticism and mourning as ways of repentance. He also wrote a homiletic commentary on Mekhilta, entitled Be'er Avraham (1927). During Abraham's lifetime, his grandson R. Noah (d. 1927) emigrated to Ereẓ Israel and settled in Tiberias, where Slonim Ḥasidim found a special place in the history of Ḥasidism in Ereẓ Israel from the late 19th century. The letters of the rabbis of Slonim to their fellow Ḥasidim in Ereẓ Israel were included in their writings.
