The first volume of these discourses, on the Book of Bereishith along with Derushim for Chanukah, were printed in 1913, in Berditchev. ‘Or Hatorah, ’ the title of the work chosen by the publisher, is numerically equal to the author’s name, as the publisher explains in his introduction. In 1950, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Tzemach Tzedek’s direct descendant and namesake, published an additional volume, on the Torah portion of Shemoth. Subsequently, further volumes followed.” (Kehot).
