Siddur Chemdat Yamim - Kavanat HeAr"i. First Edition. Segulah Book

"My faithful advice is to buy this siddur for excellent protection for one's home from all affliction and disease and an abundance of blessing for offspring, long life and plentiful sustenance ..."  (Approbation of the 'Imrei Yosef' of Spinka.)

Siddur Tefillah, Chemdat Yisrael - Kavanot HaAriza"l, arranged by Rabbi Shmuel Vital, son of Rabbi Chaim Vital. This siddur was printed here for the first time from a manuscript that was in the Chid"a's possession and reached the hand of the Admo"r Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga of Shinova. He then gave the manuscript to the 'Minchat Elazar' of Munkacs to arrange and edit for print. Munkacs, 1901.

Rabbi Yosef of Koson wrote in his approbation for the siddur: "Segulah for body and soul to be protected from all distress and damage while the sanctified siddur is in one's home." The 'Imrei Yosef' of Spinka ztz"l writes: "Even if one who does not involve himself with [Kabbalistic matters], my faithful advice is to buy this siddur for excellent protection for one's home from all affliction and disease and an abundance of blessing for offspring, long life and plentiful sustenance." There are additional approbations from Chassidic leaders - the 'Ahavat Yisrael' of Vizhnitz, Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Shapira of Munkacs, Rabbi Yehudah Tzvi of Dolyna and others. Lengthy foreword at the beginning of the siddur by the Minchat Elazar of Munkacs who writes about the progression of the manuscript and its printing, and signs off with a blessing: "May the author's holy merit protect us in all our requests, etc. to merit salvation and mercy."
