This collection includes many transcripts of the writings of R. Hillel of Paritch, and from his book Pelach HaRimon. R. Hillel, a close disciple of the Mitteler Rebbe and the Tzemach Tzedek, would record the discourses he heard from his teachers, with the addition of his own explanations. In one heading, he states: "I did not hear regarding Parashat HaChodesh, but I will write my humble opinion as a possibility, following what I understood from what I heard from the late rebbe [the Mitteler Rebbe] and the present rebbe [the Tzemach Tzedek]".
This collection also includes a transcript of the last Chassidic discourse delivered by the Tzemach Tzedek. This discourse was given on Shabbat, Parashat HaChodesh, Rosh Chodesh Nissan 1866, some two weeks before his passing on 13th Nissan 1866.
