Shaar HaTefillah, regarding prayer, by Rebbe Chaim Thirer of Czernowitz (Chernivtsi), author of Be'er Mayim Chaim and Sidduro shel Shabbat. [Sudylkiv]: Tzvi Ze'ev Rabinstein, [1825]. First edition.
In the foreword, the publisher states that this book was written in Eretz Israel, to where the author immigrated, after the printing of his first books Sidduro shel Shabbat and Be'er Mayim Chaim and after they became popular in most towns and countries. He testifies to the words of the holy author, who stated that Shaar HaTefillah has the power to hasten the redemption.
Printed here for the first time is the author's well known responsum regarding the recitation of "Leshem Yichud", in which he rebuts the opinion of the Noda BiYehuda, who criticized its recital (according to the listing in the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book, this responsum was printed at the beginning of the book. In this copy, however, it is at the end of the volume).
[2], 102, 113-115; 3-10 leaves. 21 cm. Bluish-greenish paper. Overall good condition. Stains. Worming and small tears, primarily to first and last leaves, repaired with paper, slightly affecting text. Tear to leaf 52, with loss of text. Ownership inscription and stamps. Labels on title page. New leather binding.
