Sepher Kithvei Kodesh - Ma’amarim (discourses) of R. Chaim Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the son of R. Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch (Tzemach Tzedek)

R. Chaim Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1814-80) was the the third of the seven sons of R. Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch (Tzemach Tzedek). In 1866, he served as Rebbe in the town of Lubavitch for three years before moving to Liadi. His younger brother R. Shmuel (the Mahara”sh) took over the leadership position in Lubavitch. A few of these discourses are dated Liadi 1871-74 and are unpublished. Most are not dated. There is one which was delivered in Lubavitch in 1870 and although here unidentified, it is from the Rebbe Mahara”sh and is published in Torath Shmuel. On f. 104b is a copy of a letter written by R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi to R. Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, ff.105acontains a copy of a letter by R.

On f. 141b is a Ma’amar by the Alter Rebbe entitled Veha’Ish Moshe and f. 146a is material from the Tzemach Tzedek. <<* Bound with:>> Ma’amar Yetziath Mitzraim by R.
