Etz HaChaim and Dollar for Charity Given by the Rebbe of Lubavitch – 20 Cheshvan, 1990
Etz HaChaim, along with a dollar for charity, received from Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Brooklyn, New York: Kehot, 20 Cheshvan, 1990. "Forty years of the Rebbe's leadership" (1951-1990).
Etz HaChaim is an instructional booklet written by the Rebbe Rashab in 1904 for students of the Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch yeshiva, containing an explanation of the objectives of the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva and the necessity to study the "inner Torah" (Chassidut) in order to succeed in the "outer Torah" and fear of heaven. The booklet was first printed in 1946 and is prefaced by an introduction by his son, the Rebbe Rayatz. Shortly before 20 Cheshvan, 1990, on the 130th anniversary of the Rebbe Rashab's birth, the booklet was printed anew in a special edition at the behest of the Lubavitcher Rebbe; at the beginning were added a portrait of the Rebbe Rashab and a facsimile of his manuscript.
On 20 Cheshvan, 1990, the Rebbe distributed the booklet along with a dollar bill for charity.
On the inner side of the cover and in the margins of the dollar bill appears an inscription by the recipient, R. Shaul Shimon Deutsch: "from the Rebbe's hand".
Booklet: [3], 88 pages. Approx. 23 cm. Good condition. Damage, stains and light wear. Erased stamp at the top of the first title page. The dollar is in good condition.
