Prayer book, as customary in Poland, Sephardic version, with Ra'aven [Rabbi Eliezer ben Nathan] commentary. 2 sections. Ostrów, [1827?]. Printed based upon manuscript from library of Ga’on Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Margaliot, who writes in his approbation: “I hereby declare that I am the one responsible for integrating the commentary of the Ra'aven in this prayer book and preparing it for print”. Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Margaliot included many additions to this prayer book; “Beit Tefila – inspiration for heartfelt prayer” and more.
Date on title page of section 1 states 1810 whereas on title page of section 2 date listed is 1817. However, table of new moons on leaves 154-155 corresponds to years 1828-1831, therefore it is reasonable to presume that prayer book was printed in 1827, despite date listed on title pages.
