This book deals with proofs for belief in the Creator and renewal of the world, according to Chassidut and philosophy. Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch writes in his introduction to the 1955 edition: according to that which Lubavitcher rebbes have told us, Sefer HaChakira was written by the Rebbe the Tzemach Tzedek after his journey to Petersburg in 1843, and is about the religious debates, teachings, kabbalah and Chassidism which took place there. "But in his usual way he added after that, in any case, this writing was necessary and a temporary response to questions that came from a special circle of people and according to his outlook and opinions".
