Siddur Torah Or and Shaar HaKollel. Vilna 1935

Siddur Torah Or with Shaar HaKollel, by the Admor HaZaken. A prayer book based on the Ari's version.

Siddur Torah Or with the Dinim and Minhagim founded by the Admor…Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the author of the Shulchan Aruch HaRav and the Tanya. Prayers for the entire year (weekday, moadim, High Holidays), with the Pesach Haggadah. Printed by the Rom Widow and Brothers. Vilna 1935.

This siddur was edited by Rabbi Avraham David Lavut (the Rebbe’s grandfather) and divided into two sections with separate title pages. The first contains only what had been printed in the first siddurim printed during the Admor HaZaken’s lifetime, while printing errors from prior editions were corrected (which is why it was called Torah Or), with references to sources of Biblical verses and Maamarei Chazal. The second section is a supplement not printed in previous editions. At the beginning of the Siddur there is an approbation by the Maharil of Yanovitz, brother of the Baal HaTanya.

Two title pages for the first section and a separate title page for the second.

[Section I]: 51, 25-26, [1], 57-62, 61-62, [11], 75-86, [36], 123-124, 126-188, [40] leaves.
