Editing The Siddur (section)

== Praying from the Siddur ==
Many tzaddikim had the custom of saying everything from the Siddur, even short prayers and blessings.

The Rebbe had the custom from his early childhood to pray only from the Siddur. During the years of his leadership, he would bring the Siddur with him to farbrengens only because at the end he would need to recite an after-blessing. Despite the Siddur being worn and partly torn from extensive use, he did not replace it. He received this Siddur from his father-in-law, the Rebbe Rayatz.

The Rebbe had several Siddurim with holy origins, and when he would go to Mincha prayers where a groom was present, he would bring one or more Siddurim so that the grooms could pray from them.
