Ownership inscription of R. Aaron Halevi a emissary for Kolel Russia.
The Holy Sefer Pri Ha’aretz includes elucidations on the Parshiyot as per Chassidic tradition, and extraordinary, holy compositions on Avodat Hashem by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk, the primary disciple of the Besht and one of the greatest disseminators of Torat HaChassidut.
The elucidations on Parshiyot Bereishit – Lech Lecha, and the esoteric meaning of the Mikve are authored by Rabbi Avraham HaMalach, son of the Maggid of Mezeritch.
Pri HaAretz is one of the most profound and difficult to understand Chassidic Seforim. The Yesod HaAvoda of Slonim declared that he wishes that in the times of Mashiach and in the World to Come he will be able to uphold the lofty levels described in this Sefer. "We have a tradition from reliable people that this Sefer never left the table of Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin, who would say that whoever is able to understand this Sefer, is capable of combining the lower wisdom with the higher wisdom" (Yesod HaMaalah).
In 1777, Rebbi Menachem Mendel emigrated to the Holy Land, setting up a foothold of the Chassidic movement there. Despite being geographically far away from his brethren in the diaspora, Rabbi Menachem Mendel maintained a close connection with them through letters and emissaries.
