Large collection of handwritten pamphlets of Chassidic articles by Chabad Rebbes: The Tzemach Tzedek, his son Rebbe Shmuel (Moharash) and his grandson Rebbe Shalom Dov Ber (Rashab). 1850's -1910's.
Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, author of Tzemach Tzedek (1789-1866), the third Chabad Rebbe was a leading scholar and Chassid. A close disciple of his grandfather, author of the Tanya, he led the Chassidism after the death of his father-in-law and uncle "The Middle Rebbe" Dov Ber in 1828.
The youngest of five sons of the author of Tzemach Tzedek – the Maharash of Lubavitch – Rabbi Shmuel Schneerson (1834-1882) was appointed Lubavitch Rebbe in 1866. He died at a young age and served as Rebbe for less than 20 years. His son the Rashab (1861-1920) was the fifth Rebbe of the Lubavitch dynasty and founder of the Tomchei Temimim Yeshivot.
More than 20 handwritten pamphlets of compositions, varying size and condition, by various writers, some booklets are incomplete. Some of the writers have a similar handwriting to that of the Tzemach Tzedek.
Our initial examination of the manuscript in comparison with the Chabad books which appear in the Otzar Chochma, reveal that most articles are taken from the teachings of the Rebbe, the Moharash from 1873-1880, and some differ from the printed versions.
