This book was printed before the author travelled to Eretz Israel. It is the first published work of the Be'er Mayim Chaim and the only one printed in his lifetime.

Chassidim of all times had set classes on it in preparation for Shabbat, as the author writes in his preface.
This book became well-known and accepted as soon as it was published.
