Manuscript of the book "Nechemati Be'Onyi" - Derashot on the Torah ordered according to the Parashiyot of the Torah, handwritten by the author, Rabbi David Albocher, one of the rabbis of Turkey in the first half of the 19th century.

Much of the novellae is on Rashi's commentary on the Parasha. The novellae contains different commentaries, in several places, Mussar.

The significance of the manuscript before us
The book remained only in the author's handwriting and has never been printed. Part of this manuscript is found in "Yad Ben Zvi". Before us is an additional part of the book, which is not found there, and which has been unknown until now.
M.D. Gaon in his book "Yehudei Ha'Mizrach" writes that he has seen the manuscript of the book with the author's colophon, according to which the writing was completed in 1839. Before us is a continuation of the book from the years 1846-1847.
