Zera Kodesh
by Rabbi Naftali of Ropshitz
First Edition
Lemberg, 1868
___
Two complete volumes of sefer Zera Kodesh by Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Horowitz of Ropshitz.
Vol. 1: Commentary on Torah
Vol. 2: Roshei Chodashim, Yomim Tovim and the Lekutei Moharam of his father Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Liska.
The author’s foremost disciple Rabbi Chaim of Sanz named the sefer Zera Kodesh (see the words of the publisher on the backside of the title page). His approbation appears in the sefer.
Chassidic masters treasured the Zera Kodesh and would study it diligently every Shabbos.
Rabbi Naftali of Ropshitz (1760- 1827) was one of the great founders of Chassidus. He was born on the day the Bal Shem Tov passed away, and in reference to this Rabbi Chaim of Sanz said, “The sun rose and the sun set” (Ohel Naftali letter beis). He was the primary disciple of Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk and one of the great members of the chaburah of the Chozeh MiLublin. His uncle Rabbi Meshulam Igra taught him the Revealed Torah.
Rabbi Naftali paved a unique path in Chassidus and was always happy. He was brilliant and would often speak in riddles and in humor that concealed deep secrets. For this reason, his primary disciple Rabbi Chaim of Sanz referred to him as “the wise Admor” (Divrei Chaim Parshas Noach).
