Stencil printed handwritten leaves of Rabbi Yerucham Leibovitz’s teachings at the Mir Yeshiva, Fall 1935.
Those words were delivered on the last Elul of Rabbi Yerucham's life and were later printed with numerous editing modifications in the “Hever Ma’amarim” (Vilna, 1939) and in the “Da’at Chochma Ve-Musar” Vol. 2, (New York 1969).
The first essay from September 11th, 1935 deals with the ideology of “Chassidut” which was spread by its leading figures with great Mesirut Nefesh and “this tells us how [the founders of Chassidut] acted for Hashem’s sake and since they acted that way, this is the holy Torah and the holy Torah’s every apostrophe… requires Mesirut Nefesh”. His words on Mesirut Nefesh continue with the example of Rabbi Israel of Salant who did everything he could to introduce the learning of Musar.
