The Rebbe Yosef of Koson writes in his approbation for the siddur: "Segulah for body and soul, to be guarded from all distress and damage while this sacred siddur is in one’s home."


The Imrei Yosef of Spinka writes: "Even for those who are not involved in concealed matters, it is my heartfelt recommendation to purchase this siddur to be a wonderful protection for [your] home from all illness, and an abundance of blessing and success; children, health and plentiful sustenance …"
