Abridged version of Ma’avar Yabbok, compiled by R. Aaron Berechiah ben Moses of Modena (d. 1639), is prayers for the ill and deceased. In the introduction R. Aaron writes “Ma’avar Yabbok is so entitled to bring close and to offer with love and awe before the entire holy congregation, “among them young women beating tambourines” (Psalms 68:26). They will pass the way of an unsteady bridge from the world of permutation and destruction in which iniquities reach to heaven, to “bind with chains” (cf. Job 38:31) the י Oneness, the ב blessing, and the ק holiness (= יבק), and with this you will offer “a meal offering of your first fruits” (Leviticus 2:14) and “pass over the ford Yabbok” to wrestle with the Lord, every man his struggle, “until the breaking of the day” (Genesis 32:25) which is the resurrection, then not Jacob will his soul and body be called but only Israel.”
