“The holy Ben ish chai” Rare Dedication on His Sefer Rav Brachos, Baghdad 1868

Sefer Rav Brachos authored by the Ben Ish Chai, with a personal handwritten dedication from the Ben Ish Chai himself.

The dedication appears on the title page of the
sefer and was sent
"In honor of the great rabbi, the great eagle… Rabbi N(athan) Adler… of London. From the author."

Sefarim with dedications from the Ben Ish Chai are exceedingly rare.

Sefer Rav Brachos (Baghdad, 1868) is one of the very first authored
sefarim of the Ben Ish Chai and includes questions, responses and novellae organized in alphabetical order.

In his introduction, the Ben Ish Chai proclaims:
"…I reveal my opinion and my will with a complete heart and soul… that all of my intentions in this treatise and all of the holy treatises that G-d, in his great mercy, will grant me the merit to compile, everything is for the Holy One, Blessed is He…"

On leaves 192-194 there is a
tikkun for the 7th of Adar which was omitted in following editions.
