Buyer's premium:

1. Siddur Tefillah, nusach Sfard, with the commentary Tefillah L’Moshe by the kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Cordovero of Tzfat, the Ramak. Integrated with the siddur Or HaYashar, which includes the Sefer Or Tzaddikim from the kabbalist Rabbi Meir Poppers. 2 sections in one volume. Printed for the first time in Przmysl, 1892. This facsimile is of that edition and was printed in Israel, no year listed.

This siddur is much appreciated by Chassidic gedolim and won comprehensive approbations from Chassidic gedolim of the period, who praise the siddur and those who use it, and say that it is a segula for preservation and blessing for those who bring it into their home. The Admor Rabbi Yehoshua of Belz writes that he heard from his father, the Sar Shalom, that though he did not usually write approbations “one who wishes to print the siddur Or HaYashar he would give his approbation because the start of his entry into Yirat Shamayim was on the basis of this siddur…and it is for the benefit of Jewish children that they allow Yirat Shamayim into their hearts…”

2. Siddur Tefillah for the whole year with kavanot of the Ari, glosses and dikdukei sofrim from the Gaon Moharar Shabati of Roshkov. This siddur is called Siddur Rebbe Shabati after the author, who was a student of the Besht. It is the source of the Besht’s minhag to saw Hodu on Erev Shabbos at Mincha, and “KeGavna” from the Zohar before Arvit of Shabbos. Long before it was printed, his name was already known and many were eager to pray using it. Other siddurs that quoted from him like siddur Rebbe, which was printed a little before this one, were themselves considered very scarce.

This is a facsimile of the Lemberg 1866 edition, printed with additions from the Maggid of Kozhnitz and Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Zidichow, and notes from Rabbi Zvi Hirsch (the Darchei Tshuva of Munkacs). At the end is a maamar from the Minchas Eliezer. Printed in Brooklyn, 1961. 3 sections, each one has a separate title page.

Overall good condition.
