Sharei Teshuva ”Chinuch” Zhitomir 1864. - Sha’arei Teshuva (part two only), called “Chinuch”, by R. Dov Ber Schneerson (1773-1827), “the Mittler Rebbe” of Lubavitch, who inherited the mantle of Chassidic leadership from his father, R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, “the Alter Rebbe”. He was the first Rebbe of the dynasty to live in Lubavitch and had an immense influence on his Chasidim in particular and on communal Jewish life in Russia in general. He was also a prolific author and his seforim are fundamentals of Chasidic thought. Published by R. Chanina Lipa, R. Aryeh Leib and R. Yehoshua Heschel Schapiro, grandsons of R. Pinchos of Koritz. As is well known, Seforim printed by the Schapiro family press were exceptionally favored by many of the great Chassidic Rebbes and in turn their followers. Shapiro press. 138 pages. 18 cm.
