Lot 46:
Kovetz 28th of Sivan Yovel Shanim 1991. With a $1bill. Placed in the original plastic case given directly by the Rebbe. The recipient’s name appears on the title page. Very good overall condition.
Content of the Kuntres: the Kuntres contains more than a hundred pages with a short historical review of the efforts made to save the Rebbe and the Rebetzin Chaya Mushka, a short description of the Rebbe’s first Hitva’adut in the USA, outlines of the Rebbe’s biography and his Sichot and Mamarim for the 9th of Adar (the day the Admor the Rayatz came to the USA in 1940) and the 28th of Sivan, about the work in the USA and more. The Kuntres was published in 1991, fifty years after the Admor and his wife came to the USA.
A big Surprise!
The Rebbe ordered to print the Kovetz so it could be distributed to many! This came as a big surprise since it was the first and only time the Rebbe announced he would give out a Kuntres that contains not only Mamrei Chassidut and Sichot Kodesh but also stories, historical facts and more.
