In the middle of the pages of introduction [bound inconsecutively] approbation of Rabbi Akiva Eiger: "My friend, the friend of Hashem, the Rabbi great in Torah and Chassidut" and on this book he writes, "that come from the heart of a tzaddik."
The holy Rabbi Moshe of Zaloshin (1789-1831, Encyclopedia of Chassidut, Volume 3, pages 273-276), The Chozeh of Lublin testifies that from the age of 10 he sanctified himself to Hashem, those who wrote the approbations for this siddur tell of his saintliness and righteousness renowned in his generation (part of these approbations were printed in other books since in this edition "as a result of the high costs of printing were omitted."
Author of Mishpat Tzedek on Psalms and Ge'ulat Yisrael on the Passover Haggada, this book and his other books were printed in dozens of editions.
There is disagreement about whether Rabbi Moshe of Zaloshin was a disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin or not, (see attached material). His son Rabbi Ya'akov of Zaloshin Av Beit Din of Alexander was a disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin and of Rabbi Bunim of P'shischa and he served as Admor. (See Encyclopedia of Chassidut, Part 2, page 252). Also his second son, Rabbi Yoseph Gershon Av Beit Din of Duhart served as Admor (Encyclopedia of Chassidut, Part 2, page 252).
Included in this book are many words of great Chassidim and in his introduction he warns not to omit words from his book: "In this book there are some matters written by Chassidim and also matters written by Mitnagdim. But it is stupid and nonsense to mention this and make the holy nation of Yisrael, G-d forbid, into two separate societies." He writes that the dispute between Chassidim and Mitnagdim which brings separation in this world in Yisrael's unity, causes separation in the upper world as brought in the books of Kabbalah and therefore he calls to form one society to wholeheartedly do the will of Hashem, "Until when shall we be as two sects, two societies, one straightens and one bends, one permits and one forbids… the Chassid mocks the Mitnaged and the Mitnaged mocks the Chassid. Sometimes, the lowest of the low of the Mitnagdim has the audacity to speak derogatorily of the greatest of the Chassidim and likewise the lowest of the low of the Chassidim has the audacity to speak against the greatest of the generation of the Mitnagdim."
