Seder Tefiloth mikol HaShanah al-pi Nusach Ha’Ari z”l [prayers]. Prepared according to the custom of Isaac Luria (Nussach AR”I). Arranged and with an extensive commentary by R. Schneur Zalman of Liadi (The Alter Rebbe).

<<Rare first edition of the Alter Rebbe’s Siddur.>> During the life-time of the Alter Rebbe, R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1813), his unique text of the prayers, based upon the rite of R. Isaac Luria, was published in a very condensed format in Shklov in 1803 (see Habermann, Sha’arei Chabad, no. 135). However, this earlier prayer-book was devoid of Chassidism per se, offering only general instructions and “pesakim” (legal decisions). Following the death of R. Shneur Zalman, his son and successor, R. Dov Ber (1773-1827), the Mitteler Rebbe, issued for the first time what has come to be known among Chabad Chassidim as the Siddur im Da”ch (Siddur with Chassidic discourses; Da”ch initials: “Divrei Elokim Chaim”) - more simply, “Der Alter Rebbe’s Siddur.” <<This Siddur ranks among the most important of Chassidic printed books and certainly the most significant within the Chabad literary canon.>>
