The Nehora HaShalem siddur is a prominent siddur, comprising commentaries, selections and kavanot, with essays on the importance of prayer and more. The authors and compilers are R. Yechiel Michel son of R. Akatriel HaLevy and his son R. Aharon HaLevy of Mikhalishok. The siddur was widely accepted, and received approbations by prominent Torah leaders, including Chassidic leaders. It was therefore printed in several places, including Berditchev and Slavita. The editor, R. Aharon HaLevy, later sold the rights to this siddur to the printer R. Menachem son of R. Baruch of Vilna (see the sale contract printed in the Avodat HaLev edition of Siddur Nehora, Vilna and Horodna 1819).
This edition was proofread by R. Tzemach Segal Landau of Vilna, who added his commentary Iyun Tefillah.

Rivkind maintains that the siddur was printed in Aziory, a town near Horodna, where the press of the partners from Vilna and Horodna operated for some time. Yaari however rejects his claim. See: Y. Rivkind, Regarding the Aziory Printing Press, Kiryat Sefer, IX, 1932-1933, pp. 523-526; Ch. Lieberman, Regarding the Tefillat Nehora HaShalem Siddur, Ohel Rachel, I, New York 1980, p. 366-368; A. Yaari, HaDfus HaIvri BeBerditchev, Kiryat Sefer, XXI, 1944-1945, p. 109; Y. Yudlov, HaDfus HaIvri BeOstroh – Additions and Corrections, Alei Sefer, III, 1977, p. 131.
