The long Hemsheich (series of Maamarim) known as "B'sha'a Shehikdimu, Te'erav" was begun [1] by my father on the first day of Shavuot 5672 (1912) in Lubavitch.

He finished it on the Shabbat of Parsha Vayeira 5676 (1915) in Rostov - with the Maamar which begins VaHashem Amar.

The Hemsheich contains 144 Maamarim.

Extant in manuscript [2] is a second section which he had not delivered orally, and which is not divided into Maamarim.

   

Notes:

1. (Back to text) I.e. the first Maamar of the series was delivered as an oral discourse on that day by the Rebbe (R. Shalom Dovber).

2. (Back to text) Subsequently published by Kehot.
