In his preface, Rabbi Yisrael Beck recounts the story of his publishing house in Tzfas and Yerushalayim. He then inscribes his prayer and blessing, “I trust in Hashem Yisborach that one who prays from the siddur that was printed here in the Holy City, his prayer shall rise directly via its mountains, and the Satan shall not block it from reaching his Master, for it was printed in a holy place by Yisrael, sons of holy Jews…”
