צפנת פענח
Jacob Joseph's third book, printed in Korets in 1782, with homilies on Exodus. It continues the transmission of the master's sayings and the polemic against scholars who study without fear of God, and helped fix the Hasidic vocabulary of cleaving, the raising of sparks and the righteous man's responsibility for his generation.
