Lot 90:
Incredible and Sacred! Unprecedented Treasure!
The Tehilim of the Holy Rebbe of Ribnitz, with remarkable Blessings in his Sacred handwriting and Holy Signature!
This sacred Tehilim was printed for the Refuah of the Grand Rabbi of Satmar, Rabeinu Yoel ben Chana Teitelbaum, ZY”A, The renowned Poe’l Yeshuos Rabbi Chaim Zanvil of Ribnitz, ZY”A, poured out his prayers before Hashem within these pages.
On the page before the title appears a handwritten note and holy signature of the Ribnitzer Rebbe. At the top is written the name of the previous owner, "Yonasan Braun", one of the close associates and members of the inner circle of the Rebbe. According to the reliable testimony from the Rebbe’s household, R. Yonasan presented this Tehilim as a gift to the Rebbe, and as a reward for this, the Rebbe recorded his name, his mother’s name, and blessings to him:
"IN THE MERIT OF YONOSON BEN SARAH, FOR A REFUAH SHLEIMAH, SUCCESS AND SALVATION, – CHAIM ZANVIL RIBNITZEH".
Several pages throughout the book have creases, including chapters recited in ‘Tikun Chatzos’.

Besides the immense significance of the Sefer, as it belonged to the Rebbe of Ribnitz in which he used to perform his holy Avoda, an additional specialty of this Tehilim is, its being a living testimony to the profound connection of these two righteous Tzadikim, which culminates with a separate title page: "A Prayer for the Healing and Health of Rabbi Yoel ben Chana…" – This section includes parts of chapter 119 according to the holy initials of the Rabbi of Satmar, and on these pages, many signs of use and small tears are particularly visible, evidence of the holy prayers of the Rabbi of Ribnitz for the healing of the Rabbi of Satmar.
Discovering a signature of the holy Rebbe of Ribnitz, especially with his blessings, is an exceedingly rare and precious find. With perhaps only three or five signatures known to exist worldwide, The Rebbe was not known to write often, making each of his signatures unusually rare and unique. To find one adorning the pages of a Tehilim, particularly with accompanying blessings, is truly a once-in-a-lifetime discovery!
