Harav Tzadok Hakohein’s Library
With the passing of his father-in-law Rabbi Tzadok remained without income.
Unlike many Chassidic Rebbes, Harav Tzadok Hakohein refused to accept any pidyonos from his chassidim. And his livelihood was from a meager income his wife earned from her store. The only money he accepted were the 5 silver coins of pidyon haben, these monies were not exploited for personal use but rather dedicated exclusively to the purchase of seforim.
Rabbi Tzadok Hakohein’s amassed about 5000 books in his Jewish library and it was famous for its size, and for the pristine condition in which his seforim were kept – they seldom had a crease.
After his passing the Libary was placed in his Beis Medrash , during the Holocaust , the Beis Hamedrash and all its contents were destroyed ( Bromberg Migdolay Hachasidus , vol 7 pg 103-104 )
This Sefer is a Remnant of this great Libary
