ספר סדר הדורות החדש מידי הבש"ט, הודפס בידי ר' מאיר ליב הירש מסאטמר
Sefer Seder HaDorot HaHadash (The New "Order of the Generations") by the Baal Shem Tov (R. Israel ben Eliezer), printed by R. Meir Leib Hirsch in Szat-márnémeti (Satmar), c. 1941; 49 pages. The "Besht" left no books; this title based on original used by Rabbi Yechiel Heilprin. One of the famous lessons of the Besht in this book is if you see another person doing something ugly, you should first meditate on the presence of that same ugliness in yourself (seeing someone else's errors is an opportunity to remind ourselves that we too err & should not stand in judgement of others). Rabbi Hirsch's press was founded in 1925 and existed until 1944, being the largest of Satmar's presses in Romania. A few worm holes.
