Tikkunei HaZohar with the "Be’er L’Chai Ro’i" commentary part 3 … according to the foundations of the introduction to the Zohar, Talmudic midrashim and the Ariza"l’s writings, by the Admo"r Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Shapira of Munkacs

Berehove, 1921. First Edition. 

Composition by the gaon and kabbalist, the Admo"r of Munkacs, on Tikkunei HaZohar. The top of the page contains the text of Tikkunei HaZohar and the commentary appears beneath it.

During the course of the printing, before Part III was printed, the author passed away. His son, the Admo"r Rebbi Chaim Elazar Shapira of Munkacs, author of Minchat Elazar, wrote a lengthy introduction to this part. In it, he wrote that his father did not write a commentary to tikkunim 32-34 "and his wise reasons and proofs were that this was as a segulah so that the external ones would not be so envious as to make accusations against him to disturb him … and it is known from the early ones that those who deal in such a holy composition are provoked …" and so that the work would be complete, he himself wrote a commentary to these tikkunim (as well as for the last tikkun); and so that they would be distinguishable, he printed them in smaller letters.

Rebbe Chaim Elazar Shapiro, Av Beit Din of Munkacs (1872-1937), the Minchat Elazar, was a leading Torah scholar, halachic and Chassidic authority. Son of Rebbe Tzvi Hirsch Shapiro, author of Darchei Teshuvah, and grandson of Rebbe Shlomo Shapiro, author of Shem Shlomo (both also Av Beit Din of Munkacs), he was born to the dynasty of Rebbe Tzvi Elimelech of Dinov, the Bnei Yissachar. He fought for the holiness of Judaism, and his halachic and kabbalistic teachings are studied all over the world. Author of Minchat Elazar, Shaar Yissachar, Nimukei Orach Chaim, Divrei Torah in nine parts, and more.
