Beautiful Copy of Tehillim with Ma’amados Published by the Shapira Press; Zhitomir, 1857

Tehillim with Yiddish translation and ma’amados published by Rabbi Chanina Lipa and Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Shapira, grandsons of the Rabbi of Slavita.

The sefarim published by the Shapira family in Slavita and Zhitomir were popular among the leaders of Chassidus, not only for their quality printing but also due to the prestige of the printers, grandchildren of the Rabbi of Slavita.

The sifrei tehillim, siddurim and machzorim published in their press gained quick popularity and are sought after to this very day.

This wide margin copy is printed with large black lettering on thick, white paper.
Published in Zhitomir, 1857.
