Tefillah Yesharah and Keter Nehora siddur, Sefard rite, with kavanot of the Arizal, commentaries and many additions, including: Netiv Mitzvotecha and Tehillim (with separate title page). Satmar – "As printed in Berditchev": R. Chananya Yom Tov Lipa Teitelbaum, 1942. Two title pages. Including additional approbations given specifically to this edition, by Rebbe Aharon Rokeach of Belz and Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum Rabbi of Satmar.
Copy of Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum Rabbi of Satmar. His name "Yoel Teitelbaum" is lettered on the front board.
Many inscriptions on the endpapers, title pages and first leaves, as well as alongside various prayers (for Torah, health, etc.) – names written by Chassidim and associates who wished to be remembered in the Rebbe's prayers.
The siddur shows signs of extensive usage. This siddur presumably accompanied the rebbe in his prayers for many years – from the printing of the siddur in Satmar in 1942, in the midst of WWII, during the Holocaust and his rescue journey, until his final years in the United States.
Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar (1887-1979), a leader of his generation, president of the Edah HaChareidit and leader of American Orthodox Jewry, one of the founding pillars of Chassidic Jewry after the Holocaust. Born in Sighet, he was the son of Rebbe Chananya Yom Tov Lipa, the Kedushat Yom Tov, and grandson of Rebbe Yekutiel Yehuda, the Yitav Lev, who both served as rabbis of Sighet (Sighetu Marmației) and were leaders of Chassidic Jewry in the Maramureș region. He was renowned from his youth as a leading Torah scholar, for his perspicacity and intellectual capacities, as well as for his holiness and outstanding purity. After his marriage to the daughter of Rebbe Avraham Chaim Horowitz of Polaniec, he settled in Satmar and taught Torah and Chassidut to an elite group of disciples and followers. He served as rabbi of Irshava, Karoly (Carei; from 1925), and Satmar (Satu Mare; from 1934), managing in each of these places a large yeshiva and Chassidic court. He stood at the helm of faithful, uncompromising Orthodox Jewry in the Maramureș region. During the Holocaust, he was rescued through the famous Kastner Train, and after a journey through Bergen-Belsen, Switzerland and Eretz Israel, he reached the United States, where he established the largest Chassidic group in the world.
