Bound at the end: Or HaYashar by R. Meir Poppers and Kuntress HaMinhagim by the rebbe of Koidanov. Vilna, 1928.
Two title pages. Separate title pages for Or HaYashar and Kuntress HaMinhagim.
Rebbes and Chassidim of Koidanov, Karlin, Lechovitz and Slonim throughout the generations prayed following the text of this siddur, and printed their siddurim based on it. The Or HaYashar siddur was treasured by the rebbes of Belz, who would pray from it, stating that they drew from it fear of G-d.
Segulah book! In the approbation by Rebbe Aharon of Koidanov (copied from the first edition, Vilna 1877), the Rebbe blesses whoever buys the siddur: "I request of our Jewish brethren, especially our fellow Chassidim, to each buy this siddur at its designated price, and they should not try to save on the money, and first buyers will be first to be blessed, especially our fellow Chassidim, it is fitting that they should not pray from any other siddur using any other text, rather everyone should buy this siddur... and it will be good for him".
