summary

The Mitteler Rebbe’s writings are primarily of a deeply profound nature - often based upon his father's works and directed toward Chassidic scholars. Poke’ach Ivrim however was written for the average Jew, specifically in the Yiddish language and directed toward the newly penitent (baalei-teshuvah). This Shklow edition is likely a unicum. Habermann in Sha'arei Chabad (no. 209) records it based on this very copy, that originally derived from the Israel Mehlman Collection

ff. 12. Some staining, previous owner's inscriptions on title. Modern boards. Sm. 8vo
