Unparalleled powerful segulah item to definitely be judged favorably – as it says: “A tzaddik decrees and Hashem fulfills”
Machzor that belonged to the leading Kabbalist of recent generations, the Admo”r Rabbi Yisrael Abuchatzeira – “Sidna Baba Sali, ” with which he poured his heart out to G-d with his pure prayers on the great and awesome Day of Judgement, and from which he read the sacred yehi ratzons while eating the simanim on Rosh HaShanah night.
Aside from the powerful segulah concealed in the very act of prayer from this sacred machzor, which does not have to be elaborated upon, it also becomes stronger many times over with the revelation at the end of the machzor – a sacred and awesome matter that has never been seen: A signed promise written by the Baba Sali in the form of the Yehi Ratzons of Rosh HaShanah, in which he asks that Hashem grant the prayers of the person who prays from this machzor, and that he have a good year in all matters! On the last page of the machzor, there is a prayer written, signed and stamped by Sidna Baba Sali, as follows: “May it be Your Will that he be written in the book of good life, sustenance and good livelihood, amen v’amen . Eved Hashem, Yisrael Abuchatzaeira …”
This is a legal and halachic document (and it is known that the Heavenly kingdom works somewhat like the Earthly kingdom) in which the leading tzaddik of recent generations requests that one who prayers from this siddur “will be written in the book of good life, sustenance and good livelihood!” There is certainly no mekatreg who would dare – or even be capable of – blocking the prayers recited from this sacred machzor as they rise heavenward with such a signed and stamped “certificate of passage straight to Heaven”!!
This machzor covers all the Rosh HaShanah prayers from the very beginning, at night, through shofar-blowing – the height of the day – with all the most indescribably powerful Kabbalistic intentions, though the conclusion of this sacred day. Also includes the Tashlich service and the Selichot customarily recited in Elul, as well as those for Tzom Gedaliah.
Traces of the Baba Sali’s tearstains are evident throughout this machzor, as well as leafing-through marks on the leaves’ margins. The usage and traces of tearstains increase and fill the entire page of the Yehi Ratzon hymns designated for after Kiddush on Rosh HaShanah night: “May You renew for us a good and sweet year”; “May the request of those who wish evil upon us be renounced”; “May we be fruitful and multiply like fish and may You watch over us carefully”; “May our evil decree be torn apart” etc. The Talmud Bavli says about these: (Tractate Kritut): “Said Abayyei: It is an auspicious omen [סימנא – מילתא]” – and this is the halachah as stated in the Shulchan Aruch – and all the more forcefully in Kabbalistic works – that the segulah of the Yehi Ratzon s is inestimably valuable as a sign and a segulah for a good year, as we clearly see in this sacred machzor the Baba Sali used as he recited his Divine service. How powerful is the privilege and how great the simana milta of reciting these very Yehi Ratzons from this sacred machzor, accompanied, as mentioned, by the “Certificate of Passage Straight to Heaven.”
