Letter of New Year wishes and responsa on Hilchot Edut, handwritten and signed by Rabbi Shaul Yehuda Leib HaCohen, Rabbi in Hebron. Sent to Jerusalem to Rabbi Shmuel Salant. [Hebron, ca. 1880s-1890s]. Rabbi Shaul Yehuda Leib HaCohen Libin, a Chabad Chassid, served in the rabbinate of several Russian cities and in the Konstantinograd (Krasnograd) community. Throughout the year while serving in the rabbinate, he would study and teach in the Beit Midrash all day and would only desert Torah study to fulfill a mitzvah such as peace-making or for performing a chessed or ruling promoting truth and peace. In 1887, in his senior years he immigrated to Eretz Israel (following the advice of Rebbe S. B. of Lubavitch) and served in the rabbinate of the Chabad Chassidim in Hebron together with Rabbi Shimon Menashe Chaikin, elder Rabbi of Hebron [at the time he was 110 years old]. Rabbi Chaikin appointed Rabbi Shaul Leib, a member of his Beit Din and told the members of the Chabad community that anything Rabbi Libin does for the Kollel Chabad in Hebron, he accepts and approves, as if he himself performed that deed. In the last year of his life, Rabbi Shaul Leib left the Hebron rabbinate and moved to Jerusalem where he died, in Tevet 1893 in the lifetime of Rabbi Chaikin [who died in Sivan 1893 at the age of 116]. After the restoration of the Har HaZetim cemetery by Kollel Chabad in recent years, his tombstone was discovered, with the following inscription: "Here is buried the elderly Rabbi Shaul Yehuda Leib HaCohen Rabbi of the Holy City of Hebron, died the 3rd of Tevet 1893". Leaf, 23 cm. More than 30 handwritten lines. Good condition.

Kitvei Kodesh – Book of Writings of the Lubavitch Rebbe Rayatz [Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn]. Two volumes. The first volume contains articles from 1940-1942 and the second - from 1943-1944. Stencil printing, Brooklyn, [1940-1944]. Hebrew and Yiddish. The Rayatz, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (1880-1950, Otzar Harabbanim 8887), the sixth rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch, founder of the Tomchei Temimim yeshivot together with his father Rebbe Shalom Dov, became rebbe in 1920. Imprisoned by the Communist government and released in 1927, he later relocated to Poland and from there to Brooklyn, NY, (March 1940). These pamphlets were printed by the "Hassidism Distribution Office" of Rabbi Abraham Paris in Brooklyn and were later bound together. The first volume contains the first discourses of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn in the USA, including articles from the first Purim he celebrated in Brooklyn. Apparently these pamphlets were printed soon after the discourses were delivered in 1940. Ostensibly, these were the first Torah teachings of the Rayatz printed in the USA. Two volumes, [341] leaves; [315] leaves. 21 cm. Overall good condition. Stains and minor wear. Damages to bindings.

The Rebbe writes among other things: "Remember…the imprisonment…a memory which leads to introspection and ‘study’ of these affairs and brings to practical deeds…". Two letters, varied size, good condition.
