A collection of several dozens liturgical poems and songs for occasions throughout the year. Commences with a 2-page essay suggesting ways to lead an ethical and healthy life. The title-page states that “Bachurei Chemed” should sing these songs on all joyous occasions. <<An unrecorded Aden imprint>> . According to Ya’ari (HaDefus Ha’Ivri Be’Artzoth HaMizrach), only thirteen Hebrew books were printed in Aden. Aden, once home of an ancient Jewish community, is located on the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula at the approach to the Red Sea. At the time of publication of this volume, it was governed as a protectorate of British India. Today this seaport city is a part of the Republic of Yemen.
