Kav Nakhi by Rabbi Abraham David Lawat (grandfather of the Rebbe of Lubavitch) – Warsaw, 1868.
Sefer Kav Nakhi, on the orders of gittin and laws of gittin, by Rabbi Avraham David Lawat, "from Colony Ramanaivka adjacent to the community of Kherson, a teacher of law in the community of Nikolayev."
Warsaw, printed by Natan Shriftgisser, 1868. First edition. In two parts (a separate title for the second part).
Contains approbations from Rabbi Baruch Shalom Schneerson (the eldest son of the Rebbe, the author of the "Tzemach Tzedek" from Lubavitch and grandfather of the Rebbe of Lubavitch), Rabbi Yosef Tomarkin, A"BD Kremenchug, and others.
In the sefer Kav Nakhi, the laws regarding the writing and delivery of the get are clarified, along with the writing of names and variations in laws. In his work, Rabbi David Lawat resolved many uncertainties regarding the writing of names that have been widely discussed in the writings of the poskim, especially regarding names common in our time, where their writing varies from place to place according to speech and dialect. In the second part of Kav Nakhi, the author arranged systematic lists of each name. The laws were also adapted for the Sephardic communities. The book was primarily intended for rabbis, judges, and writers of gittin, and indeed, it remains a practical guide for rabbinical authorities engaged in gittin to this day.
In his introduction, the author explains the reason for naming the sefer this way, because the gematria of "Kav Nakhi" equals his name "Avraham David" – 262; and the gematria of "Gittin" equals his father’s name "Yehuda Leib" = 72.
Includes the approbation of the eldest son of the Rebbe "Tzemach Tzedek" from Lubavitch, Rabbi Baruch Shalom Schneerson, whose descendants later married the descendants of the author Rabbi David Lawat – Rabbi Levi Yitzhak Schneerson and Rebbetzin Chana, daughter of Rabbi Meir Shlomo Yanovsky (parents of the Rebbe of Lubavitch).
In his approbation, Rabbi Baruch Shalom recounts that he encountered the author Rabbi Avraham David Lawat in Nikolayev, where he was shown his work on the laws of gittin and was convinced that "the arrangement of all these is correct, each matter in its place, so that all the laws are organized according to their reasoning before those who write gittin. I believe he has done something great and necessary… therefore my hand shall be with him, and I hereby agree to print these writings."
Also includes the approbation of Rabbi Yosef Tomarkin, A"BD Kremenchug and one of the great rabbis of Chabad, who describes the importance of the work, noting that until now, those writing gittin "groped about as a blind person in the dark, " especially regarding the variations of names that differ from place to place and from country to country, and now, with the present work, everything is organized correctly and clearly.
The distinguished Rabbi Avraham David Lawat Ab”d" Nikolayev (1815-1890), grandfather of the Rebbe of Lubavitch (his mother Rebbetzin Chana, daughter of Rabbi Meir Shlomo, son of Rebbetzin Bilah Rivkah, daughter of the author Avraham David Lawat). "He was known for his sharp intellect, outstanding talents, and wide knowledge in the sea of Talmud. His righteousness and good heart gained him many admirers who held great love for him all his days" ("Headlines from the Life of the Author" in the 1951 edition of "Kav Nakhi"). He was a follower of the Rebbe "Tzemach Tzedek" and his son the Maharash, and one of the prominent rabbis of Chabad. He initially served as the rabbi of the settlement Romanovka and headed a yeshiva for students established by the "Tzemach Tzedek" there. Later, he was appointed rabbi of the city of Nikolayev and the forty surrounding settlements, serving in this role for forty years until his last day. "Due to his good influence, the entire Kherson region became a place of Torah and mitzvah".
He authored several important works but became particularly famous for two of them: Kav Nakhi on the laws of gittin, writing gittin, and the manner of writing names in gittin (a fundamental work that remains a practical guide for rabbinical authorities involved in gittin to this day); and the Siddur "Torah Or" – the Rebbe’s siddur, revised and accurate, to which the author added his works "Shaarei Tefillah" (sources for the formulas and rulings of the Rebbe) and "Shaar HaKolel" (laws and customs of prayer).
