Sefer Sha'arei Kedushah – Rabbi Chaim Vital, Aleppo, 1865.
Bound with: sefer Alim Letrufah, Igeret Mussar by Ramban, Igeret from the Vilna Gaon and Orchot Chaim by Harosh. Aleppo, 1866.
The Igeret from the Vilna Gaon was first printed in 1836, with Igeret Ha-Ramban under the title "Alim Letrufah". Ever since many editions have been printed. The edition in front of us, printed while Hebrew printing in Aleppo was resumed, contributed to distribution of this Igeret amongs Jews in Eastern countries. Moreover, this edition differs significantly from previous editions. (Many essays were written about this edition of the Igeret from the Vilna Gaon). There are also changes in Igeret Ha-Ramban and Orchot Chaim in the Aleppo version.
