Manuscript of the Book Yismach Moshe with the Yitev Lev's Glosses on Parashat HaMann - a Segulah for Wealth


Very important segulah content: Parashat HaMann - capable of bringing wealth - handwritten by the Yitev Lev of Sighet!


Original manuscript of the famous Chassidic work Yismach Moshe by the Rebbe Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum of Ujhely - the leading Admo"r of Hungary, whose amulets shook the world - it was even said they whispered on their own as if alive. [Manuscript: Hungary, c. 1840.]


This sacred manuscript was written by a scribe and constitutes the basis of the Yismach Moshe's books. From this very manuscript, his grandson and successor Rabbi Yekutiel Yehudah Teitelbaum, author of Yitev Lev of Sighet, printed the first edition of the sacred work Yismach Moshe. The manuscript shows the first stage of the Yismach Moshe's writings, before the editing and division into topics and various sefarim.


The Yismach Moshe's grandson and successor Rabbi Yekutiel Yehudah Teitelbaum, author of Yitev Lev of Sighet, added three glosses [about 35 words] in the margins in his own hand, on the most significant segulahs in the Torah - Parashat HaMann and Birkat Kohanim: "This is the bread that Hashem gave for you to eat - understand what he was particular to point out - for you. We will bring forward the explanation of the verse"; "So the Kohanim raise their hands for this and Hashem will turn the curse into a blessing." and more. [Glosses - Gorlice or Sighet, c. 1848-1861.]


These novellae spoken by the Yismach Moshe and written down by the Yitev Lev, deal, as mentioned, with the two most significant blessings in the Torah - "Parashat HaMann" in parashat Beshalach - regarding which the Shulchan Aruch rules that anyone who recites it every day will not lack sustenance. Chassidic doctrine, as stated all the more forcefully by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimanov, maintains that it be recited on Tuesday of the week parashat Beshalach is read. Alongside this passage, the Yitev Lev added in his penmanship, the segulah words: "This is the bread that Hashem gave for you to eat ..." [ "הוא הלחם אשר נתן ה' לכם לאכלה וכו' "]


The additional segulah topic is Birkat Kohanim in parashat Naso, known to contain all blessings. In the margins of this note also, the Yitev Lev writes the words of segulah in the margins: "So the Kohanim raise their hands and Hashem will turn the curse into a blessing" ["ולכך הכהני' נושאי' כפיהם, ויהפוך ה' הקללה לברכה"].


In addition to these two important topics, the manuscript discusses many segulah topics and tremendous blessings directly from the leading Admo"r of Hungary and patriarch of the sacred Satmar dynasty, the most sacred Ba'al HaYismach Moshe of Ujhely, for example:


Children's education: "It can be understood that 'to bring the hearts of the fathers to their children, ' the light of  knowledge, wisdom and understanding should be spread over them - as received from the ancestors from whom wisdom and understanding spouted from their very beings, so that their descendants will be like them and the world will fill with Hashem's knowledge."


Supernatural salvation - although one does not deserve it: "'I trust in Your kindness, my heart will rejoice in your salvation' - salvation is drawn after trust, even if one is undeserving. As such, if one believes in Hashem, what he hopes for will certainly come about."


Marriage partners: A second spouse is according to one's deeds, a separation can be according to changing one's deeds, but the first marriage partner is what was matched by the Creator.


A Gutt Kvittel: The world is judged at four times ... at those times the notes are given to each individual. It is known that before the notes are given, one can repent and the note will be changed for the good.


And more important and interesting subjects.


As can be seen from this manuscript, the Yismach Moshe did not write his novellae in a particular order, but according to matters as they occurred to him from Hashem. These pages bear novellae on various subjects that were eventually printed in the appropriate places, occasionally in a different style (the novellae here include: Parashat Beshalach, Parashat Naso, Sefer Daniel and more).


Aside from the segulah value of these novellae, their historic-Chassidic value is immeasurable. They give us a rare one-time glimpse into how the novellae were written, the writing style of the Yismach Moshe who was one of the leading Admo"rim, Kabbalists and wonder-workers of all time.
