Lehem Min HaShamayim, kavanot of the Ari for every day as well as Shabbat and Yom Tov. An important work attributed to the gaon and kabbalist Rabbi Yaakov ben Tzemach Hayyim.

First edition. Munkatch, 1905. At end are 2 unrecorded pages with list of subscribers.
Approbation from the owner of the manuscript the Admor the Darkei Tshuva of Munkatch, who even writes: ”This will hasten the end of the Galut”… “Take this as a blessing for your homes…”. Rabbi Shalom the publisher: “Take this as a blessing for your homes…and I prayer…that the author’s zechut will stand for you…and provide plenty and blessings and success..”.
Further from the approbation: "The sefer… by a holy man from the followers of the Ari of blessed memory… and it appears to be arranged by Rabbi Yitzchak Tzemach… and even though in Nagid U’Mitzvah [Amsterdam, 1712]… he himself wrote [page 10b]… ‘I found in another sefer called Lechem Min Hashamayim, etc., ‘ this is not a contradiction to the scholar." See: G. Shalom, "Toledot HaMekubal Rabbi Yaakov Tzemach, " Kiryat Sefer, 26, 1950, pp. 188; Y. Avivi, ibid., 58, 1983, pp. 190-191. According to his opinion, this work is an adaptation by Rabbi Natan Shapira of Rabbi Yaakov Tzemach’s book "Nagid U’Mitzvah, " hence the similarity between the two works.
