This siddur and Haggadah were compiled based on the writings of the great Kabbalist Rabbeinu Chaim HaKohen of Aram Tzovah, author of Tur Barekes and one of the foremost talmidim of Rabbeinu Chaim Vital, with additional tefillos and kavanos from Rabbi Shlomo Abadi, Av Beis Din of Damascus.
R. Chaim’s sforim were cherished by the great tzaddikim of Chassidus, particularly the Rebbe of Komarna (author of Heichal HaBerachah), the Maharid of Belz, and R. Itzik’l of Skver. More about R. Chaim’s exalted stature and contributions can be found in the introduction to Mekor Chaim (Jerusalem, 2004) by R. Moshe Hillel.
The volume includes additional leaves of tefillos and several handwritten marginal glosses in Yemenite script.
This is the first siddur and first Haggadah ever printed following the path of Rabbeinu HaArizal ZY"A.
