summary

The first work in the field of local religious custom (Minhag). Incorporates practices for the entire year relating to prayers and rites according to the Aschkenazi ritual. Klausner was the primary mentor of both Jacob Moellin (the Mahari”l) and Isaac Tyrnau, thus his influence laid the foundation for the spread of Nusach Aschkenaz and Minhag Literature in general.
