Baghdad-born Haham Yitzhak Kadourie (1899(?)-2006) of Jerusalem was a world renowned Kabbalist who devoted his life to Torah study and prayer on behalf of the Jewish people. He was regarded as a miracle-worker, curing people of illness, infertility, personal struggles and psychological problems. Thousands sought his advice and blessings, the personalized amulets he gave his followers were seen to have great affect. Contained within this Sidur are five notes each written by Rabbi Kadourie, recording issues for which he prayed on behalf of others. These have amuletic-style markings and lines of a Kabbalistic nature. The faithful would undoubtedly elevate this particular prayer-book as one imbued with a unique level of holiness due to the saintliness of its former owner.
