First Printing: Shnei Luchot HaBrit. Amsterdam, 1648-1649. Partial Copy. Including the Renowned "Tefillat HaShla"h"
Sefer Shnei Luchot HaBrit by the gadol v'kadosh hadorot, the G-dly Kabbalist Rabbeinu Yeshayah HaLevi Horowitz, known as "HaShla"h HaKadosh" after this sefer. Amsterdam, Emanuel Benveniste Press, 1648-1649 [ת"ח-ת"ט]. First edition. Partial copy. First edition of "Tefillat HaShla"h" for one's descendants!!!
This first edition was printed during the period of the Chmielnicki riots in Eastern Europe, when parents were slaughtered together with their children in the most terrible ways, al kiddush Hashem. Page 258a bears a prayer for reciting upon sanctification of Hashem's Name.
The sefer also has additional prayers composed by the Shla"h HaKodesh. A prayer for livelihood opens, "You, El-kim, sustain everything from bull's horns through louse-eggs" and the famous "Tefillat HaShla"h" for educating children, about which he writes: "My heart tells me that an auspicious time for this prayer is Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan." Indeed, to this day, many recite this prayer at the grave site of the Shla"h HaKadosh in Tiberias. It is difficult to exaggerate the greatness of the segulah concealed in reciting these important and famous prayers for livelihood and children's education from an actual first edition copy of Sefer HaShla"h HaKadosh.
"... I have come to request and beg before You that my children and my children's children forever be kosher, that You find nothing invalid in me nor in children nor in my children's children, not even a trace, only peace and truth and goodness and uprightness in the eyes of G-d and man. May they be masters of Torah ... Give them health and honor and strength. Give them stature and beauty and grace and lovingkindness. May there be love and brotherhood and peace among them, and may You prepare proper spouses for them from among the children of the wise, etc. ..."
