Extremely valuable! Exceptionally unique! First Sefarad Siddur 'Tefila Yeshara'-'Seder Sefarad', Radvil 1820, which was printed by the Holy Rabbi Mordechai of Kremnitz upon the request of the Holy Rabbi of Apt.

מרעיש עולמות בשפתי צדיקים ובוקע רקיעים !

Siddur Radvil 'Tefila Yeshara' printed in 1820, by the Holy Rabbi Mordechai of Kremnitz upon the request and supervision of the Holy 'Ohev Yisrael' of Apt. This was the first siddur which was called 'Seder Sefarad', a very significant and valuable Siddur by Chassidim. This Siddur was the origin and basis for the famous Siddur of Berdychiv, and others, as described as follows.

The Holy 'Ohev Yisrael' - the Rebbe of Apt very much encouraged to say the seder Maamudot every day, he thoroughly investigated the exact Nisuch, then in the year 1816 it was printed with his profound endorsement, afterwards many editions were published.

The Holy Rebbe of Apt continued to toil, until upon his request the Holy Rabbi Mordechai of Kremnitz (son of Rabbi Yechiel Michel the holy Magid of Zlotchev) labored fervently and in the year 1820 he published this perfect comprehensive Siddur 'Tefila Yeshara', Radvil 1820, with editings of the Rebbe of Apt.

According to this Siddur, in the year 1891, the Siddur Bardichev 'Keter Nehora' was arranged and published together with 'Tefila Yeshara'.

The specialty and prominence of this Siddur was extremely admired by all the holy Admorim and Chasidic sages.

According to the researchers, during the printing period only a few copies were printed, which was used by the leaders of Chassidus in the early generations.

As is known, only one more complete Siddur like this one exists in the world.

This rare copy, is totally complete, of which individual pages were professionally photographed artistically from the only other original copy found in the world. (Pages 77-80, 86-88, 105-107)

 

This Siddur is bound with a beautiful leather cover, with each page noticeably well used and soaked through pure tears from holy souls of the past generations, perhaps as mentioned from one of the great Chassidic sages of the past.

 

As is known, only a little more than ten sefarim have been printed in Radvil Press, and primarily this Siddur here, of which was much sought after and desired by all G-d fearing men.

On the cover page, it is printed that this is a second edition, thought another Siddur has not been found in the whole world that has been printed in Radvil. Therefor researchers agree, that this was printed due to the censors who did not permit new Siddurim to be printed and so it has been printed as a second edition. On the cover page it is noted that it has been printed with the permit of the Vilna censorship Academy, and this is the reason for more errors and faults found in this Siddur.

This is the first Siddur in the world called 'Siddur Sefarad'! All Siddurim published before, even those used by Chassidim were in the Ashkenazi version and were coordinated with the Nusach HaArizal which the Holy Baal Shem Tov established, But this is the first Siddur titled 'Seder Sefarad' of which every single word and letter was edited by the Holy Rabbi Mordechai of Kremnitz according the

requirements of the Holy Rabbi  of Apt.

In this Siddur, it is brought the prayer composed by the Holy 'Noam Elimelch' Rabbi Elimelech of Lizensk to be said before praying, as well as chapter 107 from Tehilim (Psalms) 'Hodu LaShem Ki Tov' which the Holy Baal Shem Tov introduced to say before Mincha prior to 'Kabalat Shabbat' as all Chassidic courtyards have accepted the custom to say. So too, it is printed the special prayer of 'L'Sheim Yichud', to be recited before every commandment performed. All this is printed for the first time in this Siddur, as per the accepted custom of Chassidic leaders in the previous generation.
