‘Siddur Tefillat Kol Peh’ used by the Admor Rabbi Avraham Landau for several years.
In the
siddur is a dedication to the Admor, as well as his seal. In addition, his faithful servant Harav Hachaver Rabbi Yaakov David Weintraub wrote on the page preceding the title page, in his handwriting, “Rabbeinu Hagaon Hakadosh the Admor, Rabbi Avraham Landau of Strikov prayed with this
siddur for several years. Whoever did not see how Rabbeinu זצוק”ל poured out his soul to G-d cannot possibly grasp it.”
The Admor Rabbi Avraham Landau of Strikov (1916-2001) escaped to Vilna in World War II where he met Rabbi Yosef Ber Soloveitchik, adhering to his method of study. When he came to Eretz Yisrael after the Holocaust, he was appointed as the Admor of the chassidim of Strikov, and was known for his erudition. “He was outstanding in how he prayed slowly, emphasizing every word, while looking in the
siddur.” (
