לע"נ ר' ישראל יעקב וזוגתו מרת קריינא ע"ה לאקשין
ע"י בניהם ר' נחמן ור' אברהם ומשפחתם שיחיו
- 1954-5714, after Rabbi Chanoch Glitsenstein published the first volumes of Sefer Hatoldot on the lives and times of the Baal Shem Tov, the Magid of Mezritch and the Alter Rebbe, the Rebbe encouraged him to continue to compile such books about the following leaders of Chabad. The Rebbe told him to keep to the style that he used for the first volumes — with the bulk of the information coming from the talks of the Previous Rebbe — and mentioned that more of the Previous Rebbe's talks were about to be published, revealing additional relevant material. 29 Sivan
