MISHNAYOT SEDER TAHAROT, WITH COMMENTARY BY R. YITZCHAK ISAAC SAFRIN OF KUMARNA – LEMBERG 1862 – WITH SEALS BY GREAT TORAH LUMINARIES INCLUDING R. FEIVEL SHLESINGER, STUDENT OF THE KTAV SOFER
Mishnayot from Order "Taharot" with the commentaries of Bartenoro, Tosfot Yom Tov, Maaseh Oreg, Atzei Eden, and Tosefta with the Pnei Zaken commentary. The holy scholar Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Safrin (1806 – 1874), Rebbe of Kumarna, added his own commentaries – Maaseh Oreg and Pnei Zaken – to the book. Rabbi Safrin was the second Rebbe in the Kumarna dynasty; his father R. Alexander Sender, founder of the Hassidic group, was Rabbi in Ziditshov and Kumarna, and authored Torat Cohanim, Netiv Mitzvotecha, and more. He was an expert in both revealed and Kabbalistic aspects of Torah, and became famous as a wonder-worker.

On the title page there are a number of hand-written notations by students of the Satmar Yeshiva "Yitav Lev" and some seals: Rabbi "Feivel Shlesinger, rabbi in Ner Topoltshen", and a seal of his son who inherited the seat of the Rabbinate, "Nachum Shlesinger, rabbi of the holy community of Ner Topoltshen."
Rabbi Kalev Feivel Shlesinger (1828-1911) was born in Slovakia (then in Hungary), and was one of the leading students of the Ktav Sofer. He showed interest in secular studies (languages and history). In 1860, he was appointed Chief Rabbi of Topolechni and established a very successful Yeshiva there. Because of his secular-studies background, he was elected to represent the hareidi Jewish community in the Hungarian parliament. His great merit was that when many Jewish communities were split along Orthodox and Reform/Neolog lines, his community remained united behind him. He authored Bar Nash and responsa in his father-in-law's book Avnei Hoshen.

Additional seals appear of Rabbi Yaakov Sheinfeld and Rabbi Yosef Shteiner, and another notation: "Was given to me by inheritance from R' Kalev ben… Shonfeld, of blessed memory." "Yaakov Leib Berger." "Fishel Sofer."
