One of the final publications by the Lubavitch Yeshivah in Otvotzk, outside Warsaw, before it was violently dissolved following the invasion of Poland by Germany in September, 1939. This Calendar contains a graphic history of the Lubavitch Yeshivah and a comprehensive description of its activities and administration. Also included are letters of endorsement of the Yeshivah from the Chassidic Rabbis of Ostrovtze, Skierniewice, Pilev, Radzyn, Aleksander, Amshinov, Gur, Lublin, Modzitz, Sochaczew, Sokolov, Kotzk, Radomsk, as well as Rabbis Menachem Ziemba and the Va'ad ha-Rabbanim of Warsaw, Prof. Chavkin, Rabbi Dr. Carlebach, and Rabbi Dr. Samuel Deutschlander. Perhaps most interesting of all is the comprehensive list of Lubavitch rabbis in the United States, Europe and elsewhere.
