The Admor of Stropkov, Ztz"l's Siddur and Tehillim with Kabbalistic Glosses and his Signature

Siddur and Tehillim from which the Admor Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga Lipshitz Halbertam of Stropkov prayed. With his holy signature and kabbalistic glosses in his handwriting.

Specifications: Thick siddur with Tehillim published by Eshkol 1989. [The siddur is 768 pages and the Tehillim is 188 pages]. There is a letter of authorization included with the siddur signed by the Admor's son, Rabbi Avraham Shalom Yissachar Dov Lipshitz Halberstam of Stropkov, attesting to the fact that his father prayed from this siddur.

"I, the undersigned, do hereby attest that the small siddur with Tehillim, called Siddur Tefillat Kol Peh published by Eshkol, 1989 edition, with my father, ztz"l's signature, was used by him, and that he prayed from it, signed AShY"Sh Halberstam, son of the Admor of Stropkov, ztz"l."

In the beginning of the siddur, the Admor signed his full name, "Yechezkel Shraga Lipshitz Halberstam." He added a number of kabbalistic glosses in his handwriting. For example, he added the lengthy, spelled-out divine Names, longer that what is generally used, at the tops of some of the pages. He also wrote abbreviations hinting at kabbalistic concepts on certain pages.

Moderate-fine condition: The siddur is very used and signs of usage are evident along the entire length of the siddur, as well as stains; the binding is partially detached.
