Notebooks of discourses, ideas and stories, registered by Rabbi Chaim Zaitchik in his handwriting. 1965-1969.
Discourses in different Yeshivot and "Batey Mussar" around the country. Some matters were only outlined but done so clearly enough as to enable the reader to comprehend the ideas.

He later moved to Jerusalem, where he established "Or Chadash" yeshivah and continued teaching Torah and Mussar. Wrote tens of books.
Study of the notebooks presents the rich and unique spiritual world of Rabbi Chaim Zaitchik, who bases his ideas on the Novardok school on one hand and on Chassidut and Maharal books on the other hand.
9 notebooks, 16 cm. Very good condition. (Some leaves were cut by the writer).
