Siddur Tefillas Yesharim According to Arizal, Following Sephardic Custom – New Edition with Numerous Additions – Amsterdam, 1740 * Siddur Tefillas Yesharim for weekdays, Shabbos, and Yamim Tovim, following the Sephardic custom, with kabbalistic intentions and halachos according to the teachings of the Arizal, together with additions by Rabbi Moshe Zacuto (the Ramaz). This siddur was first printed under the title Beis Tefillah, Amsterdam 1712 (Stefansky Sifrei Yesod no. 406). Presented here is its new and corrected edition, under the title Tefillas Yesharim. More than one hundred leaves of tefillos and piyutim were added, together with halachos, explanations of words, and additional material not found in the Beis Tefillah edition. An important edition of a foundational kabbalistic siddur. The siddur was later reprinted several times in Venice (1775), Amsterdam (1779), Livorno (1800, with glosses by the Chida), and elsewhere. This edition was arranged and proofread by  R abbi  Dovid Meldola of Livorno and Amsterdam, author of Moed Dovid , who in that same year and in the same printing press edited and printed the holy sefer Mesillas Yesharim of the Ramchal in its first edition. At the beginning of the sefer there are approbations from the rabbanim of Amsterdam, who write that they do not grant approbations containing printing prohibitions for the printing of siddurim, since anyone who wishes to increase Torah should be encouraged and not restricted. However, in this case, they departed from their usual custom and prohibited the printing of this siddur during a designated period of time, because of the immense effort invested in this edition, and on account of the “chiddushim which no one had ever seen.” There is an additional approbation from Rabbi Raphael Meldola, author of Shu”t Mayim Rabim, father of the editor, Rabbi Dovid Meldola. Astronomical tables of the molados and similar material prepared by the publisher Rabbi Dovid Meldola were printed at the end of the siddur. Amsterdam, 1740.
