Manuscript, Meir Enayim and Peirot HaIlan, by the Kabbalist Rabbi Ya'ish Haddad - Yemen, 19th Century - Unpublished Composition
Manuscript, Meir Enayim on the Torah, kabbalistic and Midrashic commentary to the Torah, by R. Ya'ish Haddad, and Peirot HaIlan, homilies for Passover and Sukkot. [Yemen, 19th century].
The manuscript begins in the middle of Parashat Noach, and continues uninterruptedly until the end of the Book of Shemot. Passages from the Books of Vayikra and Bamidbar follow (including Achrei, Nasso, Behaalotecha, Korach, Shelach, Chukat, Balak and VeZot HaBeracha). Several sections are entitled "Peirot HaIlan". The homilies for Passover and Sukkot also bear this title. [This manuscript appears to be an autograph, with marginal additions, as well as deletions and emendations to the body of the text].
There are compositions known today bearing these names - Meir Enayim and Peirot HaIlan, authored by the kabbalist R. Ya'ish Haddad (b. 1826), dayan in Moisirya, southern Yemen (Taiz district). His prime teacher was R. Chaim Sinwani. R. Ya'ish Haddad was considered the foremost Torah scholar and kabbalist in southern Yemen, and was the close colleague of Mori Ya'ish Kurin (Mori Ya'ish Haddad was nicknamed Ben Azzai, and Mori Ya'ish Kurin - Ben Zoma). The Lehman collection includes a manuscript (MS 125) with the novellae to Parashiot Bereshit-Noach and the Book of Devarim from the Meir Enayim composition (see: Ohel Chaim, I, pp. 270-273; Encyclopedia LeChachmei Teiman, I, p. 139; Toratan shel Benei Teiman, pp. 124-125). The Ben-Zvi Institute (MS 3269) holds a manuscript of part of the book Peirot HaIlan (though some contend that the author of Peirot HaIlan is R. Shalem son of Moshe HaKohen, and not R. Ya'ish Haddad - see NLI catalog, no. 000193428). This manuscript contains parts of these compositions which are not known from any other source, neither in manuscript nor in print, and this may be an autograph of the illustrious author.
