Sefer Brit Kehunat Olam, section I and II, Kabbalistic Drush and Remez on the Moadim, by the holy Rav Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Katz Av Beit Din of Koretz and Ostroh, a disciple of the Maggid of Mezeritch.
Awe-inspiring things does the holy Rav of Komarno, in his sefer Notzer Chessed, writes about the virtue of this sefer and its author: "The holy Gaon Rav, the Divine Kabbalist… Rabbi Titzchak Isaac Hacohen Av Beit Din and Ram of Koretz and Ostroh, a disciple of the great Maggid the holy Rav Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezeritch, the author of Sefer Brit Kehunat Olam… such perfume has not been seen for several centuries and it has opened our eyes to some of the secrets of the Torah and the Chochmah".
Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac was born in ca. 1753-1758 and passed away in 1793. Leading Chassidic Rebbis cite him with reverence. The Admor, the author of the Ahavat Yisrael of Vizhnitz used to study this sefer daily and even during the bombings of World War I, did not give up his study.
The first section was printed for the first time in Lemberg in 1796 yet the printing of the second section was delayed for many years due to the prohibition in Galicia to publish Kabbalistic seforim (a law that was enacted by the members of the Enlightenment Movement of Galicia). When this law was repealed in 1848, the second section was immediately printed. With it, the first section, which had sold out, was also reprinted.
