Ḥesed le-Avraham — also titled Shaʿar ha-Shamayim (1845) — is the prayer book composed by Rabbi Abraham Ankawa, enriched with kabbalistic material (kavvanot and mystical usages). The title, playing on the author's given name, belongs to the tradition of kabbalistic siddurim circulated in the Maghreb. Sources: Encyclopaedia Judaica, 'Ankawa, Abraham ben Mordecai'; Sh.
