Two interesting items from the home of the great Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri:
1. Sidur Ha’Rashash [Rabbi Shalom Sharabi prayer book] Kavanat Sfirat Ha’Omer, including handwritten glosses by Rabbi Eliyahu Ma’aravi and Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri.
Sidur Ha’Rashash Kavanat Sfirat Ha’Omer, published by the Sha’ar Ha’Shamayim Kabbalist Yeshiva located in the ruins of the home of the Holy Ari. Jerusalem, (1914).
Signatures (erased) of Rabbi Eliyahu Ma’aravi. Many Kabbalistic glosses from the famous Kabbalists Rabbi Eliyahu Ma’aravi and Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri.
At the end of the prayer book a few pages which deal in Kabbalah appear, in handwriting: “Introduction of Chizkiya Yitzchak son of Shalom Mizrachi Sharabi”. [This introduction was printed in leaves 30-31].
On one of the pages a letter of endorsement signed by Rabbi David Kaduri and Rabbi Yossef Chaim appears: “Because the Admor, the chief Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri has prayed from this holy book for many years… he has received this prayer book from the Kabbalist Rabbi Eliyahu Ma’aravi of blessed memory, disciple of the Sadeh [Rabbi Chaim Shaul Ha’Cohen Dewick], who adorned it with many comments”.
Rabbi Eliyahu Ma’aravi (1873-1955) was born in Damascus. In the year 1913 he immigrated to Jerusalem and was among the greatest disciples of the Sadeh (Rabbi Chiam Shaul Ha’Cohen Dewick) and among those who transmitted his written and oral Torah. He was one of the great leaders and Kabbalists in Jerusalem.
The Elder of the Kabbalists, Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri, was born at the end of the 19th century in Iraq. He learned Torah and Kabala from Sages of Iraq and Jerusalem and made aliya in 1928. In his first years in Jerusalem, he earned his livelihood from binding books and manuscripts, and learned in Beit El and Porat Yosef yeshivot. Over the years, his wisdom in Kabbala became well-known, and many flocked to his home for his blessings and advice, and to be given amulets. Died at the age of over one hundred, in 2006.
[3], 77 leaves + handwritten pages and blank pages. 18 cm. Dry paper, Good condition. Fine leather binding.
2. Yoman Goralot [Predictions of Fate] by Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri
Diary in which the Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri recorded in his handwriting the names of the people who approached him with their problems together with the blessing and Kabbalistic Tikunim which he gave them. Approximately one hundred and fifty cases which he dealt with, in various matters: education, matches, fertility, physical and mental health, witchcraft removal, matters of business and occupation, neighboring disputes, and more.
Rabbi Kaduri used various methods in order to guide and give advice: 1. Numerical value calculations [especially for names of matches]. 2. Predictions which he would list with symbols of dots and lines. 3. Additional Kabbalistic methods.
32 pages, 19.5 cm. In two fine cloth bindings.

Manuscript, composition on grammar, by Rabbi Yehudah Ben Kureish. [Late copying, 20th century?].
Rabbi Yehudah Ben Kreish (or: Ibn Kureish, Otzar Ha-Rabanim 7095) of the early North African sages, a doctor, poet and an outstanding scholar of grammar in the end of the fifth millennium. Of Rabbi Sa'adia Ga'on's generation, met with Eldad Ha-Dani. Great grammarians mention him in their writings [Rashi mentions him in his commentary of Jeremiah 11, 19]. Ibn Ezra writes about the essay "Father and Mother" that Ben Kureish "should be respected". Of his writing remained an essay comparing between Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic, printed in Paris in 1857 under the title "Rissalah". The essay opens with a "missive" (rissalah) sent by Rabbi Yehudah to the Fez community members for failing to read Onqelos translation and the study of Aramaic. In the manuscript herewith appears, following the missive, the first part of the essay comparing between the language of the Bible and the translation.
36 thin paper notes, average size 9X15 cm, pasted on a notebook leaves. Good condition. Stains.
