A fire broke out last night in Bnei Brak in a Machsan which was housing rare Seforim. The business is called Nachlas Tzvi Publishing house, and is located in the building of the Tolna Bais Medrash.
Nachlas Tzvi Publishing Company is responsible for the publication of historical Seforim on Chassidus. Unfortunately, hundreds of very rare, & irreplaceable Seforim dating back hundreds of years have been destroyed in the fire. The personal Seforim collection of the previous Visnitzer Rebbe ZATZAL dating back to the time of the Bal Shem Tov were also destroyed.
According to credible sources , the devastating fire was apparently started by a few children playing with fire crackers.
