Seder HaTefilah, Nusach Haar"i from the foundation of the Ba'al Hatanya, 1-2, Warsaw, 1866-1867. Chabad.

A Chabad Siddur edited by the founder of Chabad, the great Ba'al HaTanya - Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi - and his son the Mitteler Rebbe, Rabbi DovBer. With halakhot and Hasidic ma'amarim.

The nusach of the prayer and the halakhot in the Siddur were compiled and edited by the Ba'al Hatanya, and were even printed several times in his lifetime. However, his ma'marim on the Siddur and his interpretations of the words according to Kabbalah and Hasidism were relayed by him in a series of shiurim given on Shabbat nights in front of his sons and other of his students, and recorded afterwards by his son Rabbi DovBer Shneur. The commentaries on the verses of Pesukei DeZimra were annotated by his father, Rabbi from Liadi, "and they were very favorable in his eyes, as they were like words without addition or subtraction." These ma'amarim were printed for the first time together with the Siddur, in Kapost, 1666, in two parts: in part one the weekday prayers, and in part two the prayers for Shabbat and Holidays.
