Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Henna (1687-1746) was a prolific author who was widely acknowledged as one of the greatest Hebrew grammarians of his era. It is interesting to note that his proposed amendment into the prayer text evoked widespread objections. His famous published works include Binyan Shlomo (Frankfurt, 1708); Shaarei Torah and Shaarei Zimra (Hamburg, 1718); Shaarei Tefillah and Siddur Beis Tefillah (Jeßnitz, 1725); Yesod Hanikud (Amsterdam, 1730); and Tzohar Hateivah (Berlin, 1733).
