Handwritten Booklet – Special Prayers of the People who Came to Pray beside the Gravestone of Rabbi Shalom Shabazi, One of the Greatest Torah Scholars of Yemen – the 19th Century
A booklet in ancient script (most likely, the 19th century, maybe even earlier) containing a long, special prayer phrased by one of the people who came to pray beside the gravestone of Rabbi Shalom Shabazi, who was one of the greatest Torah scholars of Yemen and one of its leading poets. The writer describes the long way he had passed to reach the holy gravestone.
Among others, it is written in the prayer: "… good for you that you are sitting with the holy angels … and may we merit seeing your shining and glowing face … due to the greatness of your mercy, may your ears be attentive to our prayers…"
Rabbi Shabazi's gravestone in the city of Ta'izz became sanctified by Jews and Moslems alike. Rabbi Shalom Shabazi was the most admired rabbinical figure among the Jews of Yemen and they called him "Abba (Father) Shalom Shabazi".
8 leaves written on both their sides.
Condition: Good. wear and stains. the first and last leaves are missing, and maybe some leaves in the middle as well.
