Unknown
1734
Kabbalists prayed using the basic Jewish prayers, but added certain elements according to their own tradition. The prayers are often presented with kavanot (special devotional forms, meanings, and mystical meditations). This manuscript covers the winter period, containing the daily, Sabbath, and new month prayers from Hanukkah to Purim, approximately December through March. This image shows a foldout rendering of the menorah formed with the text of the 67th psalm.
