The Kedusha of Zhitomir and Slavuta Prints
Seforim printed by the descendants of Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz—whether in Slavuta or Zhitomir—are known for their unique sanctity. The typefaces and printing tools were immersed in the mikvah before use, and owning these seforim is regarded as a segulah for protection and success in the home.
