First edition of a fundamental text of Chabad Chassiduth. The Author inherited the mantle of leadership from his father, R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad School of Chassiduth. Fondly known by his Chassidim as the “Mitteler Rebbe,” it was he who established the center of Chabad in the Russian hamlet of Lubavitch.
