Sefer HaSichot Kayitz, "from the Admor Yosef Yitzchak shlit"a Schneersohn of Lubavitch, published by the staff of "Otzar HaChassidim…" First edition of this work published by Rebbe Menachem Mendel, son-in-law of the Rayatz, with an interesting preface that he wrote for this work, published by Kehat, New York [1947]. Interestingly, this copy has a stamp "printed in Germany." It was apparently printed together with other Chabad works that were published at the time at the presses of the war refugees. Detached with tears at the sides. Binding is slightly detached, light stains and blemishes. Overall fine condition. Gifts of this book by the Rebbe were rare, since it was one of the first ones that he published. The flyleaf bears a handwritten notation: זה הספר שלח לי אדמו"ר שליט"א למתנה מאיר מייזליש. Rabbi Meir Meisles was a prominent Chabad chassid in the United States. (He signed on the letter from 1953 asking the Rebbe to come to the United states [refer to: Mibeit Haginazim] and is mentioned in the Iggrot Kodesh of the Rebbe in a number of places). He published the Shirat Moshe on the 613 mitzvos in Jerusalem 1907 – the work of his noted grandfather Rabbi Moshe Meisels, a prominent chassid of the Admor Hazaken and leader of the Vilna community. He was one of the first settlers and leaders of the Kollel Chabad in Hebron, where he settled in 1923, after traveling to Eretz Israel per the instructions of the Mitteler Rebbe. The Meisels family was a senior Chabad family in the Holy Land [refer to: Beit Rebbe, p. 145-146; Iggrot Kodesh letters 32 and 48].
