Awe-Inspiring Siddur Segulah! Copy that was Frequemtly Used by the Mekubal Rabbi Yosef Waltuch including Tehillim Passover Haggadah and a Leaf of Shemot Kodesh Handwritten by Him - The famed Chassidic Segulah Siddur, the personal copy of the Tzaddik Nistar Rabbi Yosef Waltuch, which was used by him for many years. He used this Siddur for his famed prayers for Yeshu'at Yisrael and with it, worked his wonders.  Siddur Segulah Kadosh ”Siddur Yeshu;ot Yisrael, Sephard version, compiled from Siddur HaAri and all the Siddurim based on his sacred words...”/ Chassidic Siddur with many important additions including Zer Zahav - Segulot and Hanhagot Tovot. Edited by the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Yeshaya Halsberg of Rachov Av Beit Din of Wysokie near Lublin. The Press of the Widow Nechamah Herschenhorn. Lublin, 1925. 362 leaves, 41-76, [1] pp; 90 leaves. 17 cm.  At the beginning of the Siddur, the approbation of the Admor Rabbi Meir Yechiel of Ostrovtza who praises the Siddur and its author, writing that the Siddur puts Ahavat Torah and Yirat Shamayim in anyone who reads it and that it is a Mitzvah to bring blessing into ones home and read it: ”זה הסידור מכניס לכל אחד שיעיין בו אהבת תורה ויראת שמים אי”ה... ומצוה גדולה להכניס ברכה בתוך ביתו ולעיין בו וטועמיה חיים זכו, ומי שילמוד בו בכל יום ידע הכל, ומצוה גדולה יעשה בזה...”. Copy of the Mekubal Hakadosh The Siddur contains prayers for all year round - days of the week, Sabbaths, Shalosh Regalim and the Yamim Noraim - and at its end, Sefer Tehillim. Thus, this is not only the personal Siddur of one of the foremost Tzaddikim Nistarim; it is also his Machzor for Yamim Noraim and Shalosh Regalim, his Haggadah shel Pesach and the Sefer Tehillim from which he frequemtly read .  Rabbi Yosef Waltuch purchased the Siddur when he was an Avrech, in his thirties, as indicated by an owner's notation on the front flyleaf handwritten by him:  ”ב”ה ע”ה יוסף וולטוך מעיה”ק ירושלים תובב”א, ט”ו סיון התשי”ח”.  This Siddur was used by him for most of his life as indicated by the many stains of usage on every leaf. The leaves of the Siddur and Tehillim are soaked with the sacred tears of the Mekubal. These are clearly and undoubtedly yellowish stains of tears - enabling us, so to speak, to take a peek at the sacred Avodah of a foremost Tzaddik Nistar.  The most tear-stained leaves of the Siddur naturally include the prayers of Rosh Hshanah and Yom Kippur, yet surprisingly also chapter VI of Shir Hashirim; the PIyyut Leacha Dodi; the passage ”ויהא רעוא מן קדם עתיקא קדישא” of Zemirot Shabbat; the Av Harachamim prayer after the reading of the Torah' Seder Mamadot; the part of Pitron Chalomot; and of course - Sefer Tehillim which has many tear-stained leaves.  Many stains of usage on most of the leaves. The leaves that became detached over the years were restored by a professional binder. Original binding, slightly restored for reinforcement. Many moth perforations. Some tears and other minor blemishes. Good overall condiiton.  Manuscript by the Mekubal with Shemot Kodesh  Among the leaves of the Siddur, there are several additional leaves that were inserted by Rabbi Yosef. The most important of these is a leaf with Shemot Kodesh by the months of the year as mentioned in the book Bnei Yissachar - handwritten by Rabbi Yosef and inserted in Mussaf of Rosh Chodesh per the Chassidic custom . On the leaf of Zemirot Shabbat, a leaf of Hadas remained, per the custom of Mekubalim to smell Hadasim on Sabbath eve ”ומדאני אסא”. *** The Tzaddik Nistar Rabbi Yosef Waltuch (1921-1983) was one of the group of Tzaddikim Nistanim who operated in Israel during the early years of the State - a wondrous phenomenon that was entirely unprecedented and unparalleled before or since. The members of this circle included Rabbi Moshe Yaakov Ravikov - the Shoemaker, Rabbi Leon Patilon - the Painter, Rabbi Avraham Fisch of Tel Aviv, Rabbi Mendel of Bnei Berak, and other Tzaddikim. Interestingly, many members of this group had no children as if they arrived here from another dimension or time for a designated mission, and once their task was fulfilled, they vanished as suddenly as they had appeared. Unlike many members of that circle whose family roots are shrouded in mystery, Rabbi Yosef Waltuch possessed an exalted lineage - a seventh-generation descendant in a lineage of Ba'alei Ruach Hakodesh traced back to the Maggid of Zlotshov, and he would sometimes even add to his signature: ”Grandson of the Maggid of Zlotshov”. He was close to the leading Chassidic Admorim of his generation, including Rabbi Shlom'ke of Zvhil, the Admorim of Ruzhin, and Rabbi Moshe Mordechai of Lelov, who spoke of him with unbounded reverence and directed their followers to him for blessings.  For his living, he worked at night as a street cleaner in Tel Aviv and is therefore known today as the Sacred Street Cleaner. His biography appears in the the book Hatzaddik Hapili (2 volumes), Od Yosef Chai and Tzaddikim Nistarim Bador HaAcharon.
