Siddur Shaar Hashamayim – Prayer book with the commentaries of Rabbi Yeshaya Horowitz, author of Shenei Luchos Habris, known as the ‘Shelah Hakadosh’ [the Holy Shelah]. This Siddur was favoured by many saintly rabbis, and bears the remarkable approbation of Rabbi Yoel Sirkes, containing the statement, ‘There is no doubt that when this Siddur is distributed among the Jewish People, all who prayer from it – their prayers will not go unanswered’. As a result, this Siddur has always been in great demand.
