FIRST EDITION.

D. Sutton, Aleppo 382 (incl. facs. of title)

Includes sermons the author preached during the course of visits to the Aleppoan congregations of New York and Buenos Aires (see p. 115 and 122). Born in Aleppo, R. Laniado was counted among the eminent kabbalists of Jerusalem. In order to raise the dowry for his daugter, the Rabbi was forced to travel abroad to the Aleppoan communities in the New World —New York and Buenos Aires. He passed away in the latter city in 1917. This collection of R. Laniado's kabbalistic insights was published eleven years after his passing by his son Kamal Isaac Laniado. The book bears the haskamah of ten Aleppoan kabbalists residing in Jerusalem, including Rabbis Chaim Shaul Dweck Hakohen (author "Eiphah Sheleimah"), Yom Tov Yedid Halevi, Saul Kassin, Shalom Hedaya, et al.
