The Royal Dynasty of Ruzhin! First Edition!
Sefer Iyrin Kadishin – Discourses in the name of the holy Rebbe, Moreinu HaRav Yaakov of Ruzhin ZT"L, and his son, the holy Rebbe Rabbi Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura ZT"L – First Edition. Warsaw, 1885.
A collection of Torah teachings from the holy Rebbe of Ruzhin and his son, the holy Rebbe Rabbi Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura, first published in the "Iyrin Kadishin" series. The Torah insights shared by the holy Rebbe of Ruzhin with his Chassidim remained unpublished for decades, primarily due to his well-known statement: "Everyone composes sfarim; I create sons – let us see who has the greater merit" (his grandson, R. Levi Yitzchak Monsohn, Becha Yevarech Yisrael, Parshas Noach). The writings recorded by his great Chassidim were preserved as Megilas Setarim, secret manuscripts, and were only copied for those deemed worthy of receiving them. Even when Iyrin Kadishin was published in 1885, it sparked significant controversy among the Chassidim of Ruzhin. The publisher subsequently added an extra page listing the Rebbes of the Ruzhin dynasty who had agreed that the publication of this safer was proper and beneficial.
