Masilat Yesharim - The copy of the Chabadian genius Rabbi Shmuel Levitan with dozens of long glosses in his handwriting


Book of Mesilat Yesharim [New York 1942 edition] - The copy of the Chabadian genius Rabbi Shmuel Levitan with dozens of long glosses in his handwriting. The book is accompanied by an article "Derech Haim" for Ramachal, the GR'A letter, the Ramban's letter, and the Pathshegen of the Parable, and in all these books, also many glosses in the handwriting of Rabbi Shmuel Levitan.


The genius in his glosses negotiation in the way of mussar and Halocheh.In Many places in the book he mark important sentences. In a number of places he wrote an expansion note while reinforcing himself such as 'prayer' ', ' Psalms', 'not to hold good for himself will only hang in purity', '"Throughout his life, man has to work on correcting his own beliefs, and as G-d succeeds in keeping it in his hands"', "The Shulchan Aruch is the Shape of the World and Keeping Man Under His Leadership and Order and Rescue from Confusion.'' In certain places to complete things, the genius points to other things in the book, where the Ramchal has expanded on a brief matter which he discusses briefly here. In the protective pages between the various essays, long summary lists over entire pages of the Mental Correction Way, as well as the Secret Way, in the genius's handwriting.
