Linfnai V'Lifnim - Personal Siddur of the Admo"r Rabbi Ahreleh, Author of Shomrei Emunim. Moving Ritual Item


Siddur Taharat HaLev - personal copy of the sacred and lofty Admo"r ... Rabbi Aharon Roth, author of Shomrei Emunim. In the siddur before us, the Admo"r poured out his heart and soul before his Creator with his pure prayers, as a son ingratiating himself before his father. Moving ritual item, very exciting.


This siddur belonged to the exalted Chassid, Rabbi Shabtai Shachna Frankel (brother-in-law of the gaon Rabbi Meir Bransdorfer), who testified (per his son's testimony) that this siddur was used by the Admo"r, the author of Shomrei Emunim for prayer.

It can be seen that the Admo"r used this siddur for a prolonged period, as is evident from the siddur's worn leaves and the many usage stains. It is exciting to see how (almost) every leaf was personally handled for prayer from the depths of his heart.


Among the leaves of the siddur, there are several handwritten glosses and marks. In the siddur are also partial leaves and beard hairs, which according to the ancient custom, are stored in the pages of the siddur.


The Admo"r Rabbi Aharon Roth [1894-1947] was born in Ungvar and studied at the Weitzen yeshivah. He then drew close to Chassidut and served the Admo"rs of Kosson, Belz and primarily Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech Shapira of Bluzhov, who encouraged him to serve as an Admo"r. He gathered groups in Satmar and then in Beregszász and in the Land of Israel whose focus was a lifestyle based on specific regulations, mainly in the areas of purity and lively prayer. His works include Shomer Emunim, Shulchan HaTahor and Taharat HaKodesh. He established the Shomer Emunim group in Jerusalem, which later on became a Chassidic court.


The Taharat HaLev siddur was printed per the Slavuta edition in Jerusalem, 1927.


Moderate condition. Many usage stains. Wine stains. Many blemishes and lacks. Lacking leaves. (Another copy of this edition is included for any completion needs.)
