An important edition of the Five Books of Moses with commentaries, including the sacred commentary "Or HaChaim" and "Be’er Mayim Chaim." This edition was printed with significant endorsements, among them one from the revered Rקbbi Yisrael of Ruzhin, Rקbbi Chaim of Kosov, Rקbbi Shalom Kaminka, and others (the endorsements are lacking in the current copy). Rebbi Yisrael of Ruzhin, who wrote only a few endorsements in his lifetime, encourages his followers in this letter to purchase this edition and adds a heartfelt blessing for those who acquire it: "Therefore, I ask all of Israel, be strong and take this Torah sefer to bring blessing to your home, and God shall be your helper." This edition was especially cherished by tzadikim and Chassidim, particularly in the Ruzhin dynasty.
The "Or HaChaim" seforim were received with unparalleled enthusiasm, particularly among Chassidim and Kabbalists. The Chida describes in Shem HaGedolim the tremendous respect that the Baal Shem Tov held for the "Or HaChaim." It is known that Rebbi Chaim of Sanz wrote that anyone who does not believe that the "Or HaChaim" was written with divine inspiration is considered a heretic.
