Kuntres Maamar Baruch She’Assa Nissim 1904 and 2 Dollars, Given Directly by the Rebbe - Shevat 1991

Start price: $700

Buyer's premium: 25%

Kuntres Maamar Baruch She’Assa Nissim 1904, published by Kehat, Shevat 1991 and two banknotes of $1, all.gGiven directly by the Rebbe. Bright light green binding. Very good condition.


On the inside of the Kuntres and on each banknote, a pen notation "מיד כ"ק אדמו"ר שליט"א". The banknotes, of course, have sequential serial numbers.

Content: a Ma’amar by the Admor Rashab on the blessing Baruch She’Assa Nissim (blessed is the one who does miracles), given in 1904. Printed on the impressive binding is the date: “10th Shvat 1991”.

The content is a comprehensive exegesis on the internal significance of the subject of miracles, with a lengthy exposition on the difference between the revelation of Divinity in miracles that are supernatural versus those that use nature. Along the way additional foundational matters in Chassidut and a Chassidic commentary of maamarim of chazal.

On Thursday night, the eve of 10th of Shvat, 1991, the Admor returned from the Ohel. The synagogue was packed, especially near the Amud of the prayer leader, since the Admor would be the prayer leader of Maariv. The entire place was packed since the rumour that the maamar would be handed out had spread through the whole community.

After the tefillah, the Admor said Mishnayot and Kadish as was his minhag, and then the Gabbay officially declared that a Chaluka would take place in a few minutes upstairs next to the Rebbe’s room, where the Chaluka of bills took place every Sunday.

It was impossible not to find in the distribution of the article also the contemporary connection in light of the miracles and wonders of the ‘Year of Miracles’ and the ‘Year of Ar’enu Niflaos’ throughout the world and especially in the Land of Israel. The last words of the article are – "And this is what he did miracles for our ancestors and the request is that he be ‘also at this time etc.’"
For hours on end, the Rebbe stood on his feet and gave the audience the Ma’amar containing the bills of charity.

On Shabbat Parashat Beshalach, the Rebbe mentioned the Chaluka of the Kuntres, explaining that the Chalukah would encourage its study in particular, and the Torah in general, and would also constitute an acceleration of true and complete redemption. (From the Mazkeret Netzach Chalukot Chabad)
