Four books of Chabad Chassidism printed in Shanghai, stamps and signature of Rebbe Avraham Eiger of Lublin-Bnei Brak:
· Tzemach Tzedek – Piskei Dinim (Halachic rulings) on the four parts of the Shulchan Aruch. Printed by the "students of the Tomchei Temimim Yeshiva in Shanghai". [Shanghai, 1946]. In this edition, he writes about the words of the Vilna Gaon [on Page 138 at the end of Choshen Mishpat]: "And in my lowliness, I did not merit understanding his holy words" – In the next edition which was printed in Munich in 1949, this leaf was photocopied from a different copy in which the wording of the question on the Vilna Gaon was changed to "And this is not a response". Rabbi Yitzchak Hutner noticed this variation and corresponded about this matter with the Lubavitch Rebbe – See the Yeshurun compilation, Volume 20, pp. 790-793, Note 14].
· Torat Chaim, on the Torah. Bereshit. Published by the Kehot (Karnei Hod Torah) branch in Shanghai, with a preface by the Lubavitch Rebbe "Menachem Schneerson". Shanghai, 1946.
· Imrei Binah, on Kriyat Shema, tzitzit and tefillin, by the "Middle" Rebbe Dov Ber Schneerson, published by the Kehot branch in Shanghai, with a preface by the Lubavitch Rebbe Menachem Schneerson. Shanghai, 1946.
· Bound with: Peirush HaMilot (Glossary) – Mahadura Batra. Published by the Kehot (Karnei Hod Torah) branch in Shanghai, with a preface by the Lubavitch Rebbe Menachem Schneerson. Shanghai, 1946.
4 books in 3 volumes, varied size and condition. the volume Piskei Dinim has the signature of Rabbi "Avraham Eiger". the stamp "Avraham Eiger – Baharash, grandson of the Rebbe of Lublin" is on all the volumes.
the Lublin Rebbe Avraham Eiger (1914-2002), son of Rabbi Shlomo Elazar (son of Rebbe Alter Azriel Meir Eiger of Lublin), a humble tsaddik and Chassid, Torah scholar and exceptional genius. Studied at the Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva and during World War II, was exiled with the Amshinov Rebbe’s family to Vilna, Japan and Shanghai. there he stayed together with his companions from the Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva. After the Holocaust, in 1949, he immigrated to Eretz Israel via France. Following the counsel of prominent rebbes (Rebbe Aharon of Belz and the Rayatz of Lubavitch), and of the leading rabbis of his times (the Chazon Ish and the Tshebiner Rav), he succeeded his forefathers as Rebbe of Lublin in the city of Bnei Brak. He studied Torah with great diligence and prayed with much devotion and went to great lengths in his pursuit of charitable acts for the community and for individuals. His son-in-law is the Amshinov Rebbe of Jerusalem.
