Description
Containing prayers and supplications for the use of the pious during illness visits and for the deceased in Hebrew with a Yiddish translation by M. Stern. The first edition was written by R. Aaron Berakhiah b. Moses of Modena (d. 1639), Italian kabbalistic writer and compiler. R. Aaron was a cousin on his mother's side of R. Leone Modena. For the benefit of the pious members of his native Modena, R. Aaron compiled his Ma'avar Yabbok (“The Crossing of the Jabbok” (cf. Gen. 32:22), Venice, 1626, and often reprinted) comprising the readings, laws, and customs relating to the sick, death-bed, burial, and mourning rites. David Savivi of Siena published an abridged version under the title Magen David (Venice, 1676), and R. Samuel David b. Jehiel Ottolengo, another entitled Keri'ah Ne'emanah (ibid., 1715). R. Aaron also compiled Ashmoret ha-Boker (“The Morning Watch,” Mantua, 1624; Venice, 1720), containing prayers and supplications for the use of the pious confraternity Me'irei Shahar in Modena, as well as Me'il Zedakah and Bigdei Kodesh (both Pisa, 1785), containing prayers and passages for study.
