More Approbations for Likutay Moharan

Concluding Statement on Approbations for Likutay Moharan

These approbations were already given for the first printing of this holy book in the holy community of Ostroh during the lifetime of our Rabbi, the author, of saintly and righteous memory. Together with other approbations from the great geniuses and Chassidim of the generation, due to his immense humility, he did not wish to print them. Over time, most of the approbations were lost. Now, as I searched through the satchel of writings for new teachings not previously printed, I found these three approbations from three towering sages of the earth, in their own handwriting and signatures, as they are now in our possession. I said, this is from the Lord, to print them, that they may be written in a book and inscribed, giving their testimony and being justified. (This is copied from the second printing - which only published 3 approbations.) And now, we have found in the satchel of his holy disciples two additional approbations from two pillars of the world, exalted holy ones, the Maggid of the holy community of Kozhnitz and the Maggid of Lublin. We said it is good to print these as well, to fulfill what is written: "Do not withhold good from its owners," and may the merit of these holy righteous ones protect us and all Israel, and may the Redeemer come to Zion, speedily in our days.
