Livorno, Ricci - Meldola 1740. See f. 34a for the prayer instituted by the Ohr HaChaim, the theme of which is yearning for HaKadosh Baruch Hu to restore His Shechinah to our midst: “May He return to appreciate us as in the days of old, for Your withdrawal from us is as difficult as the departure of our Soul from our body…” Shovavi'm is the Hebrew acronym for a series of Torah portions read in the winter-time (with two additional weeks during a leap year). Kabbalists felt this to be a propitious season to focus on character improvement and to seek repentance, especially for matters relating to aspects of physicality.
