Siddur Tefillah Nehora (complete) according to the Sefardi minhag, with the second section for holidays (additional cover). Very important siddur with a commentary, praised by Rabbi Yehiel Michal Segel, Av Beit Din of Michelishak, with many unique additions for this edition. The National Library includes it in the Rare Collection—unknown publisher, Russia/Poland? 1822?. Partially with niqqud, this copy is missing the first cover and a number of additional pages. It has 7-176, 84 pages (original: 176, 100, [1] page). The second section, in place of pages 17-20 (which are missing), a group of pages have been attached from a different printing. Page 113 is torn and partially missing. Old binding with spine and leather corners, stains and tears, otherwise good condition.
This siddur is a segula item because it was used and owned by the Admor Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Desh, the Sha’arei Tzedek. Between the two sections of the siddur are two pages handwritten with calculations of the new moons for 1842 to 1912, probably written and calculated by the Admor himself. In the pages for the Song of Songs and prayers for shabbat are many clear signs of heavy use and tears, a testimony to the Admor’s soulful use of this siddur. Rare and important item for this reason. The blank front page has an important stamp: “Elimelech Alter Panet ben Rab Zikaron Yosef Desh Brooklyn.” Under it is another handwritten note by the stamper: “Bsd owned and used for prayer by the Sha’arei Tzedek, with whom I swapped…”. Page 170 has a handwritten note filling in a missing stanza of the piyyut Eli Chish Goali, a zmirah for motzei shabbat. Page 54 has a smudged stamp with the name “Leivish”, the name of the rabbi’s father-in-law. There table of new moons handwritten starts with year 1842, the year that the Admor left his father-in-law’s residence and moved to serve as rabbi of Desh (see below), more evidence that this siddur was received by the Admor from his father-in-law.
The Admor Rabbi Menachem Mendel Panet of Desh (1818-1885) was son of Admor Rabbi Yehezkel the Mareh Yehezkel of Desh. He was a student of the Chatam Sofer and Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Benihad of Pressburg. He was son-in-law of Rabbi Yehuda Leivish Krauss of Oyel, where he moved and studied under the Yismach Moshe. He served as rabbi in Arisher next to Desh in 1842 (the yeshiva in Desh was forbidden to most Jews), and in 1858 settled in Desh, where he became Admor. He established the Ahavat Zion for Zibenbirgen Kollel, and a yeshiva. He was considered a leader of Charedi Jewry in Transylvania. His son, Rabbi Moshe, was appointed his successor in Desh. His son in law was Rabbi Shabtai Nisel, the Mevaser Tov. He authored Avnei Tzedek, Sha’arei Tzedek, and more. In the journal Amud HaYirah is written that many people began to use nusach Sefard because of the Admor of Desh, and the German journal Der Ungerische Israeleit of 1887 complains that Desh turned into a Polish Chassidic holding.
His grandson, whose stamps are located on the siddur, Admor Rabbi Elimelech Alter Panet, son of Rabbi Yosef, was saved from the Shoah with his father, who was rabbi and Admor in Boro Park-New York.
