Volume I of this copy follows the pagination in Yaari and Habermann. Yudlov's copy commences only at f. 6. Part 2 is especially rare. Yaari writes that he was only able to locate a single copy of Part 2 in the Mehlman Collection. This edition was published with the sanction and approval of the Mittler Rebbe by his son Menachem Nachum and his son-in-law Yekuthiel Zalman. The title states "We have added ten "boigen" (gatherings)...on Prayer not included in previous editions." Known within Chabad circles as the “Siddur im D”ach,” - as opposed to other Chabad Chassidic siddurim, that do not contain the lengthy Chabad discourses found here. A Siddur with these profound devotions were used by the “Ovdim” of Chabad who would pray with intense contemplation for many hours at a time. A rare and important text.
