Sefer Mei Hashiloach - 2 Volumes
By: Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner - the Ishbitzer Rebbe (1800-1854), a chassidic leader and mekkubal, student of Rabbi Simcha Bunam of Pshis'cha.
A famous collection of Rabbi Mordechai Leiner's thoughts and sermons on the weekly parsha, on holidays and on various other texts, they were gathered by his grandson. Some of the unconventional observations about personal struggle and the practice of halacha in this book have elicited renewed interest in the last several decades.
Even before its original publication in 1860, the Mei HaShiloach was attacked by Chasidic groups in Poland; attempts were even made to sabotage the press on which it was being printed. Izbicy is sometimes referred to as 'New Age Chasidism', a tribute to its radical modernity. Rabbi Mordechai Yosef stressed personal responsibility in attaining true spiritual growth and self-knowledge. Throughout the Mei HaShiloach one finds strong currents compelling us to focus on our selfhood, individuation, truth, identity, and transcendence, and inviting us to re-examine our sin, failure, and despair in the light of his unique and radical philosophy. In his reading of the personalities in the Biblical narratives, the Izbicy explores their choices, doubts, and compulsions in a way that seems startling modern, and was extraordinary for its time - and even for ours. He devoted uncommon attention to emotions, human relationships, and intimacy.
