First Edition Nefesh Hachaim by Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin. Vilna, Horodna, 1824

Nefesh Hachaim by Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, prime disciple of the Vilna Gaon and renowned Rosh Yeshivah of the Volozhin Yeshivah, contain fundamentals of the Torah and avodas Hashem.

The present first edition was brought to print in Vilna and Horodna in 1824 by Rabbi Chaim’s son and successor, Rabbi Itzele of Volozhin. In his introduction, Rabbi Itzele praises his father and recounts his life story.

The sefer Nefesh Chaim was widely-acclaimed as a fundamental sefer and is learned until today in Lithuanian yeshivos. In this sefer, Rabbi Chaim discusses the importance of Torah as the hallmark of Jewish faith and the meaning of true dveikus and Torah lishmah.
