Siddur that Belonged to the Admo"r of Homna - Rabbi Shayaleh of Kerestir's Beloved Grandson

Personal siddur of the Admo"r of Homna, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Kahane, beloved grandson and household member of Rabbi Shayaleh of Kerestir. Using it, he poured out his heart in prayer and worked wonders for masses of Jews, as he learned from his prominent grandfather. Signatures, stamps and a gloss.

Many of the Admo"r of Homna's handwritten owner's signatures appear on both of the siddur's title pages, in various forms: "Menachem Mendel Kahane, son-in-law of the rabbi of Kerestir"; "This siddur belongs to the youth Menachem Mendel Kahane" and others, as well as several owner's stamps: Menachem Mendel Kahane of Homna" in Hebrew and a foreign language. There is also a handwritten gloss in the Zohar text in Seder Tikkunei Shabbat (p. 760) in an article from Sefer HaZohar.

Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the Admo"r Rabbi Menachem Mendel Kahane.
