Known within Chabad circles as the “Siddur im D”ach,” this edition is based upon the Berdichev edition sanctioned by the Mittler Rebbe, with additions. The present copy contains the rare final leaf of vol. II which was not seen by the compiler of the bibliographical list published at the end of the Brooklyn, 1965 edition. He states, “the two copies that we have seen do not have the end of the ‘Geshem’ prayer”. Similarly, Yudlov notes that the two American copies examine did not contain the final leaf which has the completion of this prayer which he found only in the JNUL copy.
