Amulet, and rare ritual object - Used by the holy Tosher Rebbe
parchment bearing the six holy Names that leading Admo"rs would place before them at all times, so that they not be distracted even a moment from their devotion to Hash-m, and to fulfill "I place Hash-m before me always." Amulet, and rare ritual object - priceless!


Approximately 4x10 cm. Very fine condition.

Rabbi Meshulam Feish Segal Lowy [1921-2015] was the fourth Admo"r of Tosh Chassidism (which numbers thousands of Chassidim around the world). He was the elder Admo"r of our generation, a remnant of the generation of knowledge [דור דעה]. The story of his life was entirely sanctity, Torah and prayer, alongside enormous acts of charity and lovingkindness. His service running tisches was an awesome, glorious sight. At around 12 midnight, he washed his hands ritually for the morning meal, and this would be the only meal he ate the entire day. His ritual hand-washing extended over a very long time (The Admo"r of Skver said about this: It is known in the name of the Ba'al Shem Tov that the secret of ritual hand-washing is revealed to only one unique in his generation, and when the Ohr HaChaim passed away, it was revealed to the Ba'al Shem Tov. In our generation, the master of the secret of ritual hand-washing is the Tosher Rebbe).

The mitzvah of charity was a special chapter in his life of sanctity, and the charity he distributed was unmatched even in previous generations. All the "pidyon" monies he received were distributed to the needy, with his attendants looking on longingly. A story is told about a very wealthy person who came to the Admo"r for a blessing and left an envelope with a check for a huge sum, in the tens of thousands of dollars, for pidyon nefesh. After he left the Admo"r, he stayed a short while and spoke with the attendants. When he turned to his car to go home, another Jew approached him to ask him for a lift, and he gladly agreed. On their way, the wealthy man saw his passenger open an envelope - the very envelope he had left with the Admo"r. Apparently this passenger was needy, had gone in to see the Admo"r after him, and the Admo"r had given him the envelope as is.

The Rebbe was known for his tremendous devotion to Hash-m; a saying is known in his name: "If only I had as many dollars as the number of times a day I consider that 'Hash-m is all there is, there is nothing besides Him, ' I would be a very wealthy man." Many wonders were worked via him on a daily basis, and Divine inspiration spoke through his mouth. His Torah thoughts were printed in the book series Avodat Avodah.
