Sefer Chaim Veshalom, "Siddur Keriat Shema she’al Hamitah, edited by the Rav the Mekubal the Shemesh, based on the Torah of Rabbi Chaim Vital, which he received from the Rav the Ari".

Jerusalem, [Ca. 1907]. At the press of Shenbaum and Weiss. Possibly only the first 2 leaves were printed at this press.

This prayer book is the first Kabbalistic prayer book published in Jerusalem – before the Yeshivat Shaar Hashamayim published all the prayers of the Rashash in 1911.

In the same year – 1907, two editions were published. Without page numbering, this is the second edition that was published in the same year, and it is extremely rare!

Kabbalistic marginalia.


At the beginning of the book is the introduction by the sages and rabbis of the new Beit El 

"We have seen the great eagerness of the God-fearing to have a prepared prayer book of the Kriyat Shema of the Rashash, which was arranged by the Rashash… Moreover, many of our Ashkenazi brethren, sages and rabbis, have begun to study the wisdom of Kabbalah and have asked us to undertake the printing of the mentioned prayer book… Therefore, we have agreed to bring it to the printing press."
