With approbation of Rav Levi Yitzchak of Barditchev and others.

Cut-off notation of ownership, stating that the sefer belongs to Rav Pinchas Aryeh Kahana Rappaport of אוהעל, the Baal Tokeah of the Admor- Rav Moshe Teitelbaum, Av Beis Din of אוהעל, known as the Yismach Moshe.

The Chassid and Tzaddik, Rav Pinchas Aryeh HaCohen Rappaport Hartstein, known as Rav Pinchas Samater. Born around year 5560 to his father Rav Yaakov HaCohen, son of Harav Hakadosh Rav Yitzchak Isaak HaCohen, author of 'Bris Kehunas Olam'. Passed away in 5613 and was buried beside his Rav- the Yismach Moshe. The following is written on his gravestone: 'The great Rav, one of the 'Bnei Heichala', the Gaon and Tzaddik, Chassid and Parush'.

He was a holy and very wondrous person, to the point that his grandson testifies: 'He was so famous in his righteousness and greatness in Torah, that people would tell stories about him in the same fashion that the disciples of the Baal Shem Tov z"l would relate. One time, he did not arrive on time to the Yismach Moshe's table, and the Yismach Moshe instructed to wait for him to recite the 'Bnei Heichalah' song (customarily recited before the Shabbos meal), explaining that Rav Pinchas himself was one of the holy Bnei Heichala!

In the sefer Yitav Panim, the author brings his Divrei Torah, stating 'I heard from Rav Pinchas Samater z"l...'
