Chassidic Classic on Shabbos!
Sidduro shel Shabbos. Shapira Press.
Zhitomir, 1849-1850
Fundamental Chassidic sefer regarding the attributes and sanctity of Shabbos Kodesh based on the teachings of Chassidus. It was authored by the holy Admor Rabbi Chaim of Czernowitz, author of Be’er Mayim Chaim.
The sefer describes the beauty and glory of Shabbos based on kabbalistic and Chassidic teachings. It offers extensive commentary and explanations regarding all elements of Shabbos, including the proper intentions while immersing in the mikveh prior to Shabbos, the special prayers for Shabbos, and piyyutim of the Arizal.
The sefer was printed in the printing house of Rabbi Chananya Lipa, Rabbi Aryeh Leib and Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Shapira, grandsons of the Slavita Rav.
The Admor Rabbi Chaim of Czernowitz (1760-1818), author of Be’er Mayim Chaim, gained repute among the Chassidic world for his love and connection to Shabbos which was exemplified through his very first sefer, Sidduro shel Shabbos.
His rebbi, the Admor Rabbi Yechiel Michel of Zlotchov attested that “He draws all his vitality from the sanctity of Shabbos.” Rabbi Chaim took immense efforts to honor and safeguard Shabbos to the extent that people described: “After he immersed in the mikveh in honor of Shabbos, he appeared a head taller and his body and face glowed until the end of Shabbos.”
Rabbi Chaim of Czernowitz himself inscribed in Sidduro shel Shabbos, “The glow of a man’s face during the days of the week cannot compare to it on Shabbos.”
