Manuscript Source

The cover is stamped: "Order of Prayer ב". This is apparently the second of two volumes written for the morning service. At the end of the manuscript are several leaves (some smaller) containing prayers and kabbalistic intentions for protection from an epidemic.

The manuscript of this siddur was probably written by one of the scholars of the "Beit El" Kabbalists' yeshiva in Jerusalem, or one of the scholars of the "Rehovot HaNahar" Kabbalists' yeshiva in Jerusalem, who made various copies of the Rashash's siddur and entrusted them only to trusted Kabbalistic scholars.

The Holy Rashash

This siddur of Kabbalistic prayer intentions, based on the writings of the Ari and Rabbi Hayyim Vital, was compiled by Jerusalem's Kabbalists known as "the Mekhavvenim", scholars of the "Beit El" yeshiva, following a siddur compiled by their teacher, the holy Rashash - the Kabbalist Rabbi Shalom Mizrahi Sharabi, head of the "Beit El" yeshiva in the mid-18th century.
