Shelah Siddur Shaar HaShamayim – First Edition, Amsterdam, 1717 – Segulah Book – Incomplete Copy
Shaar HaShamayim siddur – prayers for weekdays, Shabbat and festivals, Yotzerot, Passover Haggadah, piyyutim and Selichot for fasts, book of Tehillim with Maamadot. With Shaar HaShamayim – a kabbalistic commentary on the prayers, by R. Yeshaya HaLevi Horowitz – the Shelah. Includes an anthology of laws and customs, by the editor and publisher R. Avraham Segal Horowitz of Posen, great-grandson of the author. Amsterdam, [1717]. First edition.
Most of the prayers in this siddur follow the Ashkenazi rite, apart from some prayers which were printed in both Ashkenazi and Sephardi rite side by side, as the author requested in his will.
Praying from this siddur bears the special segulah of the prayer being accepted, as prominent
rabbis attested in their approbations to this sidd.
