Rabbi Shalom Mizrachi Shar'abi – the Rashash (1720-1782) Principal of the "Bet-E-l" Yeshiva for Kabbalists and Chassidics, compiled the prayer book of devotions "Siddur HaRashash", with inner meanings and devotions according to the Ar"i, and ever since, his writings have become the basis for devotions in prayer according to Kabbalah. For many years, the Rashash Prayer book remained in manuscript form, and was circulated with extreme care amongst sages well-versed in studies of the mystic. Not until 1916 did the great Kabbalists of Jerusalem and the Diaspora decide to print it in utmost purity (the printing was accomplished by G-d fearing Jews, who sanctified themselves by immersion in ritual baths and fasting during the work).These are handwritten copies by Kabbalists of past generations, with comments and amendments added during the period when this copy was in use.
