Kuntress "Drushei Chatunah" From the Holy Hands of the Lubavitcher Rebbe With Two Dollars and in the Original Plastic Cover – Kislev, 1992
Kuntress "Drushei Chatunah" – includes chassidic ma'amarim regarding weddings, that were said by the Frierdiker Rebbe in Kislev 1929, in regards to the wedding of his daughter Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka with Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, later his successor and seventh nasi of the Chabad dynasty. The anthology was first printed the year that the ma'amarim were said, in 1939 in Riga. In honor of the 33rd anniversary of the Rebbe and Rebbetzin, it was reprinted on the 15th of Kislev, 1992.
This kuntress was distributed by the Rebbe on the 17th of Kislev, 1992. A description written at the time in the "Yoman BiBeit Chayeinu" states: "At the conclusion of the prayer services the Rebbe went into his room and at 1:30 came out to distribute the kuntressim. This time this distribution did not take place downstairs, but rather by the entrance to the holy study of the Rebbe… the door was open, the table and dollars were near the entrance, and he stood and distributed the kuntress and $2 for five hours! to men, women and children.
On the inside of the cover of the Kuntres and on the accompanying Two Dollar bills it is written by R' Chaim Tzvi Konikov:
On The Kuntress: "Received From the Holy Hands of his Honor and Holiness the Admo"r Shlit"a, which i received on the late afternoon of the 17th and eve of the 18th of Kislev on the first day and eve of the second day of the week of Parshat Vayeshev, along with two dollar bills, and the plastic cover."
On Both of the Dollar Bills: "Received From the Holy Hands of his Honor and Holiness the Admo"r Shlit"a, which i received on the late afternoon of the 17th and eve of the 18th of Kislev on the first day and eve of the second day of the week of Parshat Vayeshev, along with a "Kuntress Drushei Chatunah" and the plastic cover."
The kuntress has a light blue cover, with quality paper, and it bears the title קונטרס דרושי חתונה. It includes the "Drushei Chatunah" from 1929 and two other ma'amarim from the Rebbe shlit"a from 1954 and 1939, that are based on the ma'amarim from 1929. It's packaged in a plastic cover [this kuntress has the original packaging]…thousands of people passed by one after the other, next to the Rebbe shlit"a, and for this reason – the large amount of people – almost nobody had a chance to talk to the Rebbe, just to quickly walk by, to merit a quick glance at the shining face of the king and to go out joyfually with a special present." The kuntress is in the original plastic cover with the two dollars it was given with.
