Some of the kabbalist siddur called Siddur Rabbi Asher , “a siddur tefillah for all year with kavanot of the Ari…brought to the printer by Moharar Shlomo Zalman Margaliyot…with…Yaakov Dov Beer HaLevi Cheresh Reis…Yehoshua ben Rabbi Moshe Moshil of Lviv.”

Printed by Yehuda Shlomo Rapaport, first edition, Lviv 1788. This copy starts from the beginning of Arvit and ends in the middle of the tekiyot. It also has the Pesach Haggadah, kiddush levana, Sefirat HaOmer, Sha’ar Yichudim, Seder Hallel, and more.

This siddur is highly considered among Chassidic gedolim because it was printed at a press operated entirely by God-fearing Jews in holiness and purity. The siddur began in Zolkwa (1781) and was edited and organized by sages of Cluj and Brody. Our edition added notes and kavanot from the Etz Chaim, Sefer HaYichudim, Machberet HaKodesh, and especially from the Siddur of Rabbi Shabtai of Rashkov, a student of the Baal Shem Tov (still never printed), and mistakes from the Zolkwa edition were corrected.

That same year, the printing press published the Noam Elimelech for the first time.

No binding, copy partially missing as stated above, stains, overall very good condition.
