- Summary:
- This is a manuscript leaf of a prayer of supplication recited before the Musaf prayer for Yom Kippur; it is a variant of the prayer composed by "Eliyahu" called "Eshpokh deme nafshe" (see: Lanshuth, L., ʻAmude ha-ʻavodah (Berlin: G. Berenstein, W. Adolf & Co., 1857-1862, p. xxi) though with some variations added (such as שלא יקראוהו עליה כוחת הטומאה, so the impure forces don't tear [our prayers] asunder) and ending with למדני חוקיך (from Psalms 119:12). Written in 10 lines on commercial paper ruled in lead; written in a semicursive Eastern script common in late Yemeni Hebrew manuscripts; it was probably written in Yemen during the early 20th century.
