Segulah for piety. The Rebbe of Satmar told that once the Chatam Sofer sent a handwritten letter to Rabbi Mordechai Bennet Av Beit Din of Nikolsburg. When Rabbi Bennet received the letter, he read it again and again. Those who stood near him wondered why he was rereading the letter. When Rabbi Bennet saw their wonder, he explained: I indeed understood what he had written the first time I read the letter, yet I am reading it repeatedly since reading the Chatam Sofer's handwriting is a Segulah for piety!
Condition: Good. In a new, impressive binding.
