1st Ed.
Ostrow
1821.
Anthology of essays, teachings, and customs of the
Baal Shem Tov and his disciples by Rabbi Yehoshua Avraham of Zhitomir.
This sefer encompasses lessons by the
Baal Shem Tov,
Maggid of Mezritch, Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, Degel Machaneh Efraim, Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibuz, Rabbi Shalom
of Probisht — father of the holy Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin, Rabbi Aharon of Zhitomir and others.
This is the first Chassidic anthology documenting lessons and customs of Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz, and it is the primary source of his Torah legacy. Other teachings by Rabbi Pinchas were published in various works in later years.
Subsequent editions of this sefer featured only parts of the original, with numerous omissions and changes, including the book title which was changed to Pisgamin Kadishin. It was printed only once more in its complete original edition ( Piotrków, 1913).
