Personal Siddur of the Breslov Leader the Gaon Rabbi Yechiel Michel Dorfman, Including a Haggadah in his Penmanship!

* Personal siddur that belonged to the Breslov Chassidic leader and head of Breslov's Va'ad Olami, the devoted Chassidic gaon Rabbi Yechiel Michel HaLevi Dorfman, rosh yeshivah of Ohr HaNe'elam and founder of the huge kloiz by Rebbi Nachmn's grave in Uman.

Siddur Tehillat Hashem al pi Nusach HaAr"i, z"l with all the Kabbalistic and Chassidic customs, published by Kehot Lubavitch, New York, 1965. The siddur was sent from America to Russia by the Chaba"d Admo"r, who took to heart all the material and spiritual needs of the Jews who remained behind the iron curtain. The siddur served the devoted Rabbi Michel Dorfman in his final years in Russia. It is filled with his usage marks along its entire length. The siddur includes prayers for the entire annual cycle, including Rosh HaShanah prayers and kiddush, obviously recited at the sacred grave site in Uman.

* Includes a Passover Haggadah entirely beautifully handwritten by Rabbi Michel Dorfman. The haggadah was written by him in 1977, in Yiddish, and it includes all the customs and halachahs for Russian Jews who spoke Yiddish. The haggadah spans about 10 notebook pages, written in Rabbi Michel Dorfman's penmanship. Several leaves from the same period are also found among the leaves of the siddur, both printed and handwritten.
