Prayers for the entire year, minhag sfard, published by the Admor Rabbi Shlomo Chaim Perlov of Bolchov hy”d, a descendant of Karlin Admorim. This is practically the first Karlin siddur—see below.
A few commentaries together:
1. Derech HaChaim by the gaon Rabbi Yaakov of Lisa.
2. Kohelet Shlomo, important chiddushei dinim omitted from Derech HaChaim, from the above publisher/author.
3. Seder Zechirot with the commentary of Rabbi Levi Yitzhak of Berdichev.
4. Pirkei Avot with the commentary Maaseh Avot—commentaries collected from the author’s forefathers, including Rabbi Yitzhak of Drohobych, the Maggid of Zloczow, Rabbi Levi Yitzhak of Berdichev, Rabbi Mordechai of Niesuchojeże, Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz, Rabbi Shlomo of Karlin, Rabbi Asher of Karlin, and other tzaddikim.
First edition using this format (earlier published with Korban Minchah in Yiddish, nusach Ashkenaz). [4], 452 leaves according to the National Library—but
this copy has an additional leaf at the end which doesn’t appear in bibliographic listings, with a printed “Prayer for our Lord the Russian Czar”. This leaf was probably added especially for Karlin chassidim in Russia in order not to arouse the anger of the government, since in the body of the work was printed the prayer for the peace of Emperor Franz Josef, who ruled Maramures-Sighet which then belonged to Austria-Hungary. Catalogued in the NLI’s Rare Books section.
New binding, dry and delicate leaves, light stains, overall good and rare condition.
The author, the Admor Rabbi Shlomo Chaim Perlov hy”d (1880-1943) was the third son of the Admor Rabbi Yaakov Perlov of Novominsk. He became known for his gadlus already in his youth and at age 12 had already exchanged letters with gedolim of his generation. After his uncle/father-in-law’s death (Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Padova of Bolchov), he was appointed Admor and rabbi in his stead and established a yeshiva. He was the father-in-law of Rabbi Elimelech ben Zion Shapira, son of the Admor of Piacenza, and Rabbi David Moshe of Gwoździec. During the Shoah he encouraged and strengthened his community, but in 1943 he was taken to the Stryi Ghetto and on the 11th of Tammuz was murdered in the town square, wrapped in a tallis. His family members also perished in the Shoah apart from his daughter and son-in-law. His books: Kohelet Shlomo, Mikdash Shlomo, Maaseh Avot.
