This is a very brief but powerful story and very cool. This little book survived Theresienstadt and not a lot did.
"This past week, I was privileged to obtain a volume that is not merely a #book, but a witness – a witness to greatness, and a witness to destruction. A relic that bridges two worlds of #Jewish #history in one handsome volume.
The book is a #Kabbalistic work, the #TikuneZohar, printed in 1863 in #Zhitomir by the illustrious #ShapiraBrothers, grandsons of the famed rav of #Slavuta, heirs to a tradition of sacred craftsmanship that elevated the very act of #printing into a #religious worship. In an era when the printed #sefer was treated with reverence, the Shapiras stood apart."
