Yihhyah Salahh

Yihhyah Salahh

Rabbi Yihhyah Salahh, known as the "Maharitz" (from the initials Mori Rabbi Yihhyah Tzalahh), was an 18th century Yemenite rabbi. He was the author of a prayer book in which he attempted to preserve as much as possible of the traditional Yemenite rite, while making some concessions to the needs of those who followed the Kabbalah as taught by Isaac Luria and his school. This prayer book is the basis of the present day "Baladi" rite among Yemenite Jews.
