"I am certain that everyone who has [my] chumash in his home will be protected from all evil and damage, from disease and lack, and his home will be filled with Hashem's blessing and all goodness and success, wealth and long life, for him and his children" (Promise from the Heichal HaBerachah of Komárno)

Set of Chamishah Chumshei Torah with the Heichal HaBerachah and Otzar HaChaim commentaries in the Kabbalistic and Chassidic way by the Admo"r Rabbi Yitzchak Yehudah Yechiel Safrin of Komárno. Lvov, 1864-1974. First edition printed by the author in his lifetime. Segulah for protection. It is very unusual to find a complete set in such beautiful condition.

These chumashim with the special Kabbalistic/Chassidic commentary were printed by the author himself, and the printing took ten years. This set is considered one of the fundamental books of Chassidic thought and Kabbalistic doctrine and was beloved by Chassidic leaders in all circles, who ascribed it much importance. The Admo"r promises in his letter: "I am certain that everyone who has [my] chumash in his home will be protected from all evil and damage, from disease and lack, and his home will be filled with Hashem's blessing and all goodness and success, wealth and long life for him and his children."

The Admo"r Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac of Komárno [1806-1834] was a nephew and primary disciple of Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch of Zhidichov - Sar Beit HaZohar and disciple of Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heschel of Apta [the "Ohev Yisrael"] and Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin, who spoke very highly of him. Aside from his being one of the leading Admo"rim of his generation, with a large community of followers who submitted to his authority, he was also renowned as a wonder-worker. He was known for his great genius in the revealed Torah and especially in Kabbalah, and he composed works in both the revealed and the hidden. He also served as a rabbi in Zhidichov and Komárno.
