Seder Kelalut Tikkun VeAliyot HaOlamot for the whole year, in brief, compiled from the writings of the Arizal, by the kabbalist R. Shabtai of Rashkov (Rașcov), disciple of the Baal Shem Tov. Lviv: R. Shlomo Yarish Rappoport, 1788. First edition.
This booklet contains the kavanot of the Arizal for weekday, Shabbat and festival prayers, in very concise form.
In 1788 (the year this book was printed), the printing press of R. Shlomo Yarish Rappoport also notably published the holy book Noam Elimelech, and its workers were reputedly holy men, amongst the 36 hidden Tzaddikim of the generation (see: R. B. Landau, R. Elimelech MiLizhensk, Jerusalem, 1963, p. 311, who quotes an oral tradition [in the name of R. Moshe Halberstam], on the unique qualities of R. Shlomo Yarish's edition of the Noam Elimelech, which "was printed by G-d fearing workers, who worked in sanctity and purity, and some were amongst the 36 hidden Tzaddikim upon whom the world stands").
This booklet also includes the famous asterisks, just like the Noam Elimelech printed the same year. Chassidic tradition ascribes great importance to these asterisks. The researcher R. Chaim Lieberman relates to these asterisks in the first edition of Noam Elimelech (Ohel Rachel, I, New York, 1980, p. 63): "Polish Chassidim name this edition 'the Noam Elimelech with asterisks', and they hold it in extremely high regard, since they attribute hidden meaning and allusions to these asterisks…". Hadrat Kodesh, biography of R. Avraham Yehoshua Freund (rabbi of Năsăud; Jerusalem 1960, p. 47) states in his name: "He attested that there is hidden meaning in the asterisks printed in the first edition of Noam Elimelech; reputedly, Elazar (son of the Noam Elimelech) experienced revelations from Eliyahu as he was writing, and he marked those places with an asterisk, and they also say that the first printers and typesetters were amongst the 36 hidden Tzaddikim…". As mentioned, this booklet contains asterisks, as do other books printed by R. Shlomo Yarish (see article by Chaim Lieberman).
[12] pages. 17 cm. Fair-poor condition. Stains. Significant tears and worming, affecting text, repaired. Stamps. Inscriptions. New leather binding.
