Siddur Chemdat Yisrael – Kavvanot HaAriza"l – siddur arranged by Rabbi Shmuel Vital, son of Rabbi Chaim Vital. This siddur was printed here for the first time from a manuscript that was in the Chid"a’s possession, and came to the Admo"r Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga of Shinova, who transferred the manuscript the Minchat Elazar of Munkacs to arrange it and prepare it for print. Kabbalistic-Chassidic siddur.

The Rebbe Rabbi Yosef of Koson writes in his approbation for the siddur: "Segulah for body and soul, to be guarded from all distress and damage while this sacred siddur is in one’s home."


The Imrei Yosef of Spinka writes: "Even for those who are not involved in concealed matters, it is my heartfelt recommendation to purchase this siddur to be a wonderful protection for [your] home from all illness, and an abundance of blessing and success; children, health and plentiful sustenance …"

Additional approbations from gedolei heChassidut: The Ahavat Yisrael of Vizhnitz, Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Shapira of Munkacs, Rabbi Yehudah Tzvi of Dolyna and others. Lengthy foreword at the beginning of the siddur from the Minchat Elazar of Munkacs, who writes about the progression of the manuscript and the printing, and concludes with a blessing: "The merit of the author’s sanctity will protect us with all our desires, to be protected and visited by salvation and mercy.
