However, due to my public responsibilities... I have become too busy... and for years I have sought printers to publish this important work. Every scholar should purchase this book without worry about the expense... “ Other Chassidic hascamoth include R. Abraham Chaim of Zlotchov. [SEE ILLUSTRATION BOTTOM LEFT] 76 (CHASSIDISM).
